Thermography Helps ID Breast Cancer

Dr. Carla Garcia, who runs the Thermography Center in Albuquerque recently was interviewed about thermography at her practice.

Thermography Video from Fox 10

FOX 10’s Laura Sambol introduces us to Digital Thermography, but we do want to let you know, that there are some medical images that may not be for everyone in the family.

What is Breast Thermography?

Breast thermography is a 15 minute non invasive test of physiology. It is a valuable procedure for alerting your doctor to changes that can indicate early stage breast disease.
The benefit of breast thermography is that it offers the opportunity of earlier detection of breast disease than has been possible through breast self examination, doctor examination [...]

Understanding the Role of DITI* in Breast Screening

The benefits of DITI do vary between age and risk groups.
With the pre mammogram age group (under 50) the benefits of screening to detect any findings or changes that justify additional testing or closer monitoring are simple. With any positive DITI findings in this younger age group, any mammogram and ultrasound sensitivity and specificity will be increased with the [...]

KTTV Fox 11 – A Better Way to Detect Breast Cancer?

Santa Monica (myFOXla.com) – Some women are looking away from mammograms to another method of breast cancer screening called “thermography.”

Is Thermal Imaging a Useful Mass Screening Test for Swine Flu (H1N1)?

The limitation of thermal imaging for mass screening during pandemic outbreaks (fever screening) is the low sensitivity for detecting individuals that are too early in the incubation of the virus. If they are not symptomatic when they are traveling, then there is little chance of identifying them with mass physiological screening.

Airports Turn To Medical Thermal Imaging To Scan For Swine Flu

Released May 1, 2009
 
As concern continues to mount about the spread of the swine flu globally, airport authorities are responding by using digital thermal imaging technology to scan passengers. Thermal imaging can detect elevated body temperature, one of the signs of the virus N1H1 (swine flu).

Meditherm med520 Tech Design

The development of the Meditherm fever screening system evolved from the first major pandemic outbreak (SARS) when we installed ordinary medical IR systems into many airports throughout the middle east and Asia.
It became immediately obvious that the level of training required for the operating technicians (and their wide range of abilities) made quick and [...]
