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 […]

The Secret Weapon In Breast Cancer Detection?
Originally published in Issue 1 2005 icon The Secret Weapon In Breast Cancer Detection? By Madeleine Kingsley Once upon a time, thermography was a secret weapon. Its heat-sensing ability helped the military flush out adversaries hiding by night and led missiles to their targets. People trapped in burning buildings, lost at sea or in snowdrifts, […]
Early Detection Guidelines For Breast Cancer
Content from ACCT website One day there may be a single method for the early detection of breast cancer. Until then, using a combination of methods will increase your chances of detecting cancer in an early stage. These methods include : Annual breast thermography screening for women of all ages. Mammography, when considered appropriate for […]
Cold Stressing Breasts And Why Don’t We Do It Anymore And The Thermal Rating System
A Position paper and Discussion. By Dr. Peter Leando Ph.D., D.Ac., FACCT Cold stress testing of the breast was performed on the assumption that thermography would identify angiogenesis and that angiogenesis could be correlated with the development and existence of breast cancer. This can be possible if a number of factors are present but there […]
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 […]
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. Thermographic screening at airports and any […]
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). “Medical thermal imaging at airports and […]

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 […]
