Breast Thermography
Early Detection Without Compression or Radiation
Breast thermography is a safe, non-invasive tool that detects heat patterns and blood flow abnormalities in breast tissue using high-resolution infrared cameras. This technology identifies functional changes - such as increased inflammation or vascular activity long before structural issues (like tumors or cysts) appear on mammograms or ultrasounds.
Unlike traditional imaging, there is no radiation, compression, or physical contact, making it ideal for frequent monitoring and for women of all ages and risk levels.
Benefits:
- Detects early metabolic changes associated with potential cancer development
- Complements mammography and ultrasound for a fuller picture
- FDA-cleared as an adjunctive breast screening tool
- Monitors breast health over time using the TH 1-TH 5 risk scale
- Offers both color and greyscale imaging to track hormonal activity
Ideal For:
- Women with dense breast tissue or implants
- Pregnant or lactating women
- Women with a history of breast surgery (augmentation, mastectomy, reduction)
- Those seeking radiation-free early detection
Thermography's Role in Disease Detection/Prevention
Published Review by Dr. Kane (pdf)
DownloadRisk Assessment
TH 1 - A normal thermogram representing low risk
TH 2 - Features are symmetrical, non-complex, with moderate vascularity
TH 3 - Correlated with atypical breast disease processes
TH 4 - A "positive" thermogram representing a significant risk
TH 5 - Increased probability of confirming malignant disease
Your Risk Assessment
TH 1
TH 2
TH 2
A normal thermogram. Note the lack of heat and symmetry between breasts.
TH 2
TH 2
TH 2
Features are symmetrical, non-complex with moderate vascularity.
TH 3
TH 2
TH 3
Correlated with atypical breast disease processes. Associated with an increased risk of malignant disease. Acute cysts and adenomas are often represented here.
TH 4
Greyscale Imaging
TH 3
A "positive" thermogram with a significant risk for malignant breast disease. Results may proceed other diagnostic testing by 5 to 8 years.
TH 5
Greyscale Imaging
Greyscale Imaging
Designates a very high probability of confirming malignant disease. Further diagnostic testing is often recommended.

Greyscale Imaging
Helps a physician better gauge your level of estrogen stimulation by reviewing the amount of vascularity in the breasts.
