Thermography
BREAST THERMOGRAPHY SCREENING IN NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE
Today the incidence of breast cancer is rising and particularly in younger women. Consequently, we recommend regular breast screening checks using the pain-free, radiation-free and non-contact Breast Thermography.
WHAT IS BREAST THERMOGRAPHY AND HOW DOES IT WORK?
Breast Thermography uses the latest technology which scans the breasts using an infrared camera to produce a “thermogram” without any radiation because your using your own natural body heat for the Thermography scan.
Skin surface temperatures, blood vessel patterns, and nervous system responses can display normal and abnormal physiologic functions.
Modern computerized infrared image processing combined with established patient and laboratory protocols produces high quality diagnostic images. These heat changes can occur upto 10 years before a tumour is big enough to see on a mammogram.
Therefore detecting this heat can enable earlier diagnosis and reduce the risk. Infrared imaging is the earliest detector due to its ability to image the subtle physiologic conditions which support tumour development and growth (neoangiogenesis, hypervascularity, and hyperthermia)
What are the benefits of breast thermography
100% safe, radiation-free and non-contact.
Very early detection of cancer risk (up to 7-10 years earlier).
It is unique in its capacity to visually record physiological changes and metabolic processes.
Breast Thermography Screening can be repeated as often as you like with no risk or radiation and therefore is suited for frequent Breast Screening or in cases where a patient might be unwilling to proceed with surgery.
IS THERMOGRAPHY INFRARED IMAGING RECOGNISED?
1982 – FDA approved for adjunctive breast cancer screening and the detection of other conditions.
AMA Council on Scientific Affairs – 1987
American Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation – 1990

AT WHAT AGE SHOULD I START TO HAVE BREAST THERMOGRAPHY?
At Herbal For Life, given the incidence of breast cancer these days in younger women, we recommend a thermography screen for women of all ages from the age of 20 onwards.
ARE THERE ANY PREPARATIONS I NEED TO FOLLOW BEFORE MY SCAN?
In order to achieve the highest accuracy, it is recommended to follow our standard protocols. These are emailed to you after booking your appointment.
ARE THERE ANY PREPARATIONS I NEED TO FOLLOW BEFORE MY SCAN?
Your thermography appointment will take approximately 30 minutes with one of our female scan technicians.
HOW OFTEN SHOULD I HAVE A BREAST THERMOGRAPHY SCAN?
We recommend a regular annual Breast Thermogram. Patients with breast cancer history we recommended more regular checkups.
