Thermography is a diagnostic tool that works by detecting increased blood flow to a particular bodily area. While the scan can be performed on any part of the body, it is most commonly used in place of mammography. A thermogram does not utilize any radiation (yay!) nor does it cause any discomfort (ladies, think breast compression!) and it is non-invasive. Many diseases and cancers create a new network of blood vessels in order to feed their rapid growth. This can translate into a detectable rise in temperature in that area, which may allow for early detection of abnormalities. Call us to learn more today!
