The recent plethora of articles reporting a study published that compares a certain type of infrared imaging for breast cancer with mammography has been taken out of context and perspective by some journalists and by certain self interest groups within the medical profession. The ‘No touch breast scan’ product was tested alongside mammography for the […]

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 […]
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 […]

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 […]
