Women Receive “Good News” on Mammography Screening But Is it Really Good News?

Women Receive “Good News” on Mammography Screening But Is it Really Good News?
Women Have A Safe Alternative to Mammograms to Maintain Annual Screenings
For immediate release from the American College of Clinical Thermology.
 Women of all ages received good news with the recent revision of the government recommendations for screening mammography.  The US Department of Health and [...]

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 [...]

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 are too [...]

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.

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 [...]
