Breast Thermography

All women can benefit from Digital Infrared Thermal Imaging DITI breast screening. However, it is especially appropriate for younger women (30 – 50, and must be 23 or older) whose denser breast tissue makes it more difficult for mammography to be effective. Also for women of all ages who, for many 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.

It takes years for a tumor to grow thus the earliest possible indication of abnormality is needed to allow for the earliest possible treatment and intervention. DITI’s role in monitoring breast health is to help in early detection and monitoring of abnormal physiology.

Along with comprehensive breast screening we also offer a Women’s Health Check. This series of scans offers a complete breast screening with the addition of head & neck, digestive, vascular, auto-immune, and OB-Gyn & reproductive health screenings.

All About Herbs provides woman-to-woman thermographic Women’s Health Check and breast screening in the State of Alaska.

Digital Infrared Thermal Imaging (DITI) Examples

Don’t forget that we have some pre-thermal guidelines for you to follow in order to have the best experience possible:

EXAM PROCEDURE
Preparation for your scan is simple but critical to the accuracy of the results. Please be advised failure to follow these simple guidelines will require us to reschedule your appointment and FEES WILL APPLY if we are unable to proceed with your originally scheduled time slot.

BEFORE THE EXAM
*Avoid strong sunlight exposure the day of and sunburn in the days preceding your appointment.
*No massage, chiropractic adjustments, acupuncture, physical therapy, infra-red saunas the day of your scan.
*Avoid the application of anti-perspirants, deodorants, creams, liniments, oils, or lotions, including but not limited to perfume and cologne to the area being scanned.
*No smoking for a minimum of 2 hours prior to your scan.
*No vigorous exercise 2 hours prior to your scan.
*Remove all jewelry and earrings.
*Long hair should be worn up.
*It is very important to wear loose fitting clothing. It is recommended no bra be worn at least one hour prior to your scan. The thermography scan will be delayed until irritation marks in the skin caused by tightly fitting garments have dissipated.

AT THE CLINIC
Arrive a few minutes early to your appointment. Your body will take some time to adjust to the temperature of the clinic. You will meet with your thermographer and will be given a sarong for modesty. Thermal imaging requires bare skin in areas that images are being taken of. Breast only thermals will need to remove any clothing from the waist up. Half and full body imaging requires all clothing be removed. Hair will need to be off of skin and neck – in a bun, or held back with a headband, and no jewelry in areas being imaged. Your thermographer will explain and demonstrate the required views and positions necessary for your scan. Thermal images are then taken of the regions of interest.

You are welcome to bring a friend, partner or spouse into the imaging room for the scan.

We look forward to seeing you soon!
