Thermography ( Thermal Imaging)
WomanCare Fertility and Wellness has joined together with Your Body’s Choice Thermal Imaging who has been offering thermography services for over 10 years.
YBC Thermal Imaging is the #1 clinic in Florida for breast, thyroid and carotid thermography scans. YBCTI is a member of the American Academy of Thermology. Our technicians are certified by the American Academy of Thermology.
Early detection sales lives.
Thermography reveals functional changes as early as 5-8 years before other means of testing.
Cancer is the second leading cause of death worldwide, claiming 9.6 million lives in 2018 according to the World Health Organization. What we know for sure is earlier detection will save lives, however traditional medical tests are not always the first in detecting abnormalities in the breast tissue.
Infrared Thermography has redefined early detection for Breast Cancer by providing the earliest and most sensitive means of screening. This simple procedure of taking digital computerized pictures with a specialized Thermography camera is safe, non toxic, highly accurate and is an inexpensive form of diagnostic imaging used by progressive physicians in the US and Europe for over 60 years.
Women are seeking more options when it comes to early breast cancer detection. The power of the internet has brought this controversial subject to the forefront, especially with the latest findings:
New England Journal of Medicine, November 22, 2012
Effect of Three Decades of Screening Mammography on Breast-Cancer Incidence
Archie Bleyer, M.D., and H. Gilbert Welch, M.D., M.P.H.
Despite substantial increases in the number of cases of early-stage breast cancer detected, screening mammography has only marginally reduced the rate at which women present with advanced cancer. Although it is not certain which women have been affected, the imbalance suggests that there is substantial over-diagnosis, accounting for nearly a third of all newly diagnosed breast cancers, and that screening is having, at best, only a small effect on the rate of death from breast cancer. In our opinion and according to latest statistics this is why even earlier detection is vital in reversing cancer.
What is Thermography?
Medical thermology is the science that derives diagnostic indications from highly detailed and sensitive infrared images of the human body. Medical thermology is sometimes referred to as digital infrared imaging, medical infrared imaging, infrared mammography or tele-thermology and involves the use of high thermal imaging and spatial resolution infrared (thermographic) cameras. Medical thermology is a patho-physiologic discipline that is completely non-contact and involves no form of energy imparted onto or into the body. Medical thermology has established applications in breast oncology, cardiology/vascular medicine, chiropractic, dentistry, neurology, occupational medicine, orthopedics, pain management and veterinary medicine.
Thermology has been clinically proven for early detection of the possibility of breast cancer. Over 800 peer-reviewed studies involving more than 300,000 women have shown thermology as increasing the possibility of early detection.
Breast cancer cells require greater metabolic support than normal tissue
Support is provided to cancer cells via the vascular system which results in increased blood flow to the cancer cells
The increased blood flow to cancerous cells results in increased heat production that can be quantitatively and qualitatively measured through Thermology
Studies have shown that an abnormal pattern in infrared imaging may likely identify a high-risk for breast cancer development in the future. This is why thermal imaging can detect physiological changes (for example increase heat) before anatomical changes (a tumor) can be detected by other modalities
