Breast Thermography

 

  
A Typical Breast Thermography Study 
   

   

 
These images are from 6 different studies. The first image in the upper left is considered normal breast images. The other 5 images all have potential breast health issues. The "hot red spots" in these images are infection and inflammation. There should be no red seen on these images. 

In the Inverted Gray Scale image you can see a defined vascular pattern. These patterns should not be seen. 

NOTE: There will be some red seen on most images. They should not be seen on the breast.

This Patient was diagnosed with cancer of her left breast. The image on the left, notice the "hot red spot" on the lower half of the left breast. The image on the right, notice the extreme amount of vascularity. 

Positive Thermograms 

Cold Challenge response is measured by sympathetic shutdown and temperature differentials. 

Hands immersed in ice water for 60 seconds 

 

Bio-Thermal Classifications 

Each breast will be assigned one of 5 possible classifications 

TH1: Normal, uniform non-vascular pattern 

TH2: Normal, symmetrical vascular pattern
(60 - 65% have normal thermal response - TH1 or TH2) 

TH3: TH1 or TH2 classification + 1 abnormal factor
Questionably normal requiring follow-up thermogram 

TH4: Two abnormal factors 

TH5: Three of more abnormal factors 

Recommendations 
(The following is a list of possible recommendations) 

Hormone Profile 
24 hour Urine Hormone profile
Saliva Hormone Profile
Topical Progesterone cream


Structural Study
Ultrasound - Determines cystic vs non-cystic
MRI - Determines presence and position of mass 
PET - Determines metabolic activity, presence and location 
Mammography - significance is diminishing 

CA Blood Profile
Biochemical markers for early detection of cancer

Before and After Case Study

Before
After

This client came into the office in January and then did a follow-up in May. On her initial visit in January, notice how red her body was. Notice the Thyroid area (just below the neck); It is very red, which indicates a thyroid condition. Also notice the red heat patterns on both the right and left breast. This client was estrogen dominant and progesterone deficient (this is visually noticeable with all the various colors in the upper chest area). This client was medically diagnosed with a thyroid condition and was taking a medical prescription for the condition. She was also taking hormone therapy replacement.

It was recommended for her to take topical progesterone cream and to do 10 hours of lymphatic therapy.

After she finished her 10 hours of lymphatic therapy her results were much improved. Notice the thyroid area, it’s a greenish-yellow with just a hint of red. Also notice the color of her chest area; It’s a bluish-green with very little, if any, red showing. The red, showing on the sides of the neck area, are blocked lymphatic areas. We noticed a significant improvement in that area as well, however we did recommend an additional 3 hours of lymphatic therapy to clear the lymphatic area

  


Breast Thermography Guidelines and Imaging Procedure

Breast Thermography Guidelines

  • Initial Thermal Scan By Age 20
  • Age 20 - 30 Thermal Scan Every Three Years
  • Over 30 Years Old, Yearly Scan
  • Regardless of Age, Yearly Scans May Be Indicated
  • Depending on the circumstances, breast scans as early as age 13 may be indicated.

Imaging Procedure

Pre-examination Preparation: Pre-examination preparation instructions are of great importance in decreasing thermal artifacts. Please follow these instruction exactly.

  • No sun bathing of the area to be imaged 5 days prior to the exam.
  • No use of lotions, creams, powders, or makeup on the body area in question the day of the exam.
  • For upper body imaging, no use of deodorants or antiperspirants the day of the exam.
  • If any body areas included in the images are to be shaved, this should be done the evening before the exam.
  • No physical therapy, EMS, TENS, ultrasound treatment, acupuncture, chiropractic, physical stimulation, hot or cold pack use for 24 hours before the exam.
  • No exercise 4 hours prior to the exam.
  • No warm baths or showers 4 hours prior to imaging.
  • If not contraindicated by your doctor, avoid the use of pain medications and vasoactive drugs the day of the exam.
  • For breast imaging, if nursing try to nurse as far from 1 hour prior to the exam as possible.
  • Avoid coffee at least 4 hours prior to imaging.
  • It is recommend to not have sexual intercourse at least 12 hours prior to imaging.

Just prior to the imaging study there is an acclimation period. You will be asked to do the following.

During the equilibration period, and the subsequent scan, the area to be imaged should remain completely uncovered of clothing or jewelry. To provide a level of modesty prior to certain examinations, a loose fitting gown may be worn during the equilibration period provided that it does not restrict airflow or constrict the skin surface in any way that would produce an artifactual result on the thermogram.

The only exception to gowning is in breast imaging where the breasts should remain uncovered during the entire equilibration period and subsequent thermal scan. Due to individual anatomy of each patient, special positioning during the equilibration period and scan may be needed.

Please note: During the examination you will be disrobed from the waist up. If you are uncomfortable with this in any way, please feel free to bring a friend with you. For your comfort, we have 2 female thermographic technicians who do all the breast images.
