Breast Thermography• Breast thermography is a great option for women of all ages and shapes

including younger women who may have dense breast tissue, women with fibrocystic breasts, and even women with implants

• Thermography is non-invasive, radiation free and 100% safe

• When thermography is used along with clinical examination and mammography, 95% of early stage cancers may be detected
