Indications for Thermographic Evaluation

Breast Thermography Can:

• Detect erratic heat patterns 

• Offer early warning signs of breast disease 

• Show vascular development 

• Offer a critical view in determining hormonal levels 

• Show your level of risk of having breast cancer now and in the future.
