General Info

Thermography is non-invasive and takes approximately 30 minutes to complete, requires no physical contact or fluids to drink, and the patterns seen are compared to standards set by Johns Hopkins University. Thermography of the breast can detect abnormalities from 8-10 years before mammography can detect a mass. Digital Infrared Thermal Imaging, DITI, is a non-invasive test of physiology. It is a valuable procedure for alerting a doctor to changes tat can indicate early stages of breast disease than has been possible through breast self examination, doctor exam, or mammography alone. Women across South Florida can benefit from DITI breast screening. However, it is especially appropriate for younger women (30-50) whose denser breast tissue makes it more difficult for mammography to be effective. Also for women of all ages who may have breast implants or for many other reasons, are unable to undergo routine mammography. This test can provide a “clinical marker” to the doctor or mammographer that a specific area of the breast needs particularly close examination.
