IMPLANTS AND ALL...

IMPLANTS AND FIBROUS BREAST SAFETY WITH THERMOGRAPHY…Let’s see; radiation, compression, pain vs. no radiation, no compression, and no pain? Hmmm…

Today I’d like to talk about the safety of receiving Thermography. I get many questions pertaining to the safety aspects of Thermography. Below are the two most common questions.

Question: “Is Thermography safe for women with breast implants?”

Answer: “YES”. Women with implants should be very excited to receive Thermography. This technology works with no contact so there is no risk of your implants being damaged from compression. And, you get an added benefit in having the integrity of your implants checked. 

Question: “I have been told I have fibrous breasts, will Thermography work for me?”

Answer: “YES”. Thermography is an excellent option for women who have been told they have fibrous breasts. This basically means “lumpy”. The reason this is such a good option is often times mammography is not able to differentiate between fibrous breasts and tumorous breasts. When women get asked to return time and time again for “repeat mammograms” it is often because of the “shadows” that fibrous tissue presents with on mammographic images. That’s one of the beauties of Thermography; this technology cannot make something appear in your image that isn’t there.

The reality is Thermography is safe for everyone who received it. Thermography provides no radiation exposure; no pain; works without compression; identifies inflammatory breast cancer; identifies fibrocystic breast disease, cysts and tumors; creates opportunities for early intervention.
