“Mammography is the most SOLID imaging procedure constructed and based on evidence that supports our current knowledge in Breast Cancer Detection ”

Fact : It is the most complete ANATOMICAL procedure of the Breast.Every following “Imaging Bricks” that come and add up , will be based on it.Dr. Enrique Martin del Campo Mena

“It’s a test that might be useful as an adjunct to mammographic screening. In order to determine whether thermography is useful as an adjunct to other imaging techniques, however, its proponents need to do the proper scientific validation and clinical testing first, which haven’t been done yet and will require large clinical trials.”David Gorski , Cancer Public Health. 2010

Mammographic Clear Detection of

Suspicious MicroCalcifications.



Corresponding Infrared Image : Assymetrical enough probable to be suspicious , yet ANATOMICALLY incorrect orientation

• So if done as initial or “screening” would probably orient to metabolic alteration , yet exact position in non dense breasts is CLEARLY defined by Xrays.

Human Behaviour Inertia Any “unstoppable”Evidence will eventually Crash against a “Challenging” force and some of the Pieces Will Have to Fall Down. EMC

Non palpable positive for Invasive Ductal Carcinoma.In order to recommend any single study or procedure to have an actual

or probable impact on SURVIVAL.

It most be focused to DETECT Non palpable Malignant Lesions.

My developing world :Detects lesions around 5-6 cm or more.The following images , represent BIASED already detected suspicious

and positive for breast cancer patients with Non palpable lesions.

Infrared images are clear , yet this findings MUST be reproduced and scientifically redefine and Categorize , multicentrically and prospectively.

Defining SPECIFIC infrared patterns FOR some SPECIFIC malignant Lesions : Could AID to detect breast cancer in asymptomatic patients.

Feedback Analysis. • Any Certified Radiologist would say :

• “You see Infrared Analysis did not DETECTED it.”

• But The Intelligent question is : Why?• The Answer is related to the Metabolic Heat Generated :

Mucinous Carcinomas are embedded in a gelatinous material or mucus.

• Therefore Infrared Radiation is null : but indirectly “speaks” of the inherent BIOLOGICAL Behaviour of the Lesion.

• That is why it goes after anatomical imaging procedures and that is also why it is considered by most as “USELESS”

BENEFITS :• All women would benetif if NEW EVIDENCE demonstrates that

thermometry holds a useful meaning (of any kind )

• If Current Standard Screening Recommendations eventually broaden from annualy to 2 or even every 3 years. (*normal population risk)

• All patients refered to an ONCOLOGIST prior to biopsy , IR offers a powerful comprehensible image that Has an actual Meaning.

• WE may not change algorithms(most cases) but Fastens Comprehension as an adjuctive procedure of the same biological Phenomenon : BREAST CANCER.

• EMPATHY and or Compliance are enhanced when properly done.

• Science would benefit since IR Images of the Human Body Represent Quantitative Biological Information.



Digital Infrared Analysis of the Breast (Breast Thermography) • Complement for everyone (For “YOU” and for “US”)

• Metabolic Meaning equals Metabolic Contribution.

• Sinergy between images : (SineiRgy)

• Comparative down to the pathology report. (All the way…..)

• Share , sample cases (Please)

• All patients submitted for biopsy should have a DIRA

(to define infrared Breast Cancer)

• Must be re- standarized , preferably with an Automatic Analysis.

• Initially should be FREE , PROSPECTIVE and CONTROLLED toconstruct EVIDENCE. Digital Infrared Anaylsis of The Breast : “Breast Thermography” , A Personal Oncological Evaluation .



Quantitative Metabolic Analysis

• If a Digital infrared analysis obtains a numerical result (degrees) from a given object.

• Should not it give finally a mathematical result?

• If it is mathematical then Individual Human interpretations shouldbe avoided.

• Future in Infrared Analysis should be AUTOMATIC……

• For them to be Analyzed TOGETHER with other Procedures

• Homogeneous Criteria



After all The Common Enemy is Breast Cancer



Never stop screening with MammographyBut Infrared Analysis could help against this “war”EMC

“Guidelines seem confusing and survival benefit isunder fireCONCLUSIONS are Dynamic and being constantlyreviewed.”EMC

NHS UK Breast Screening : 50-70 year every THREE yearsThe U.S. Preventive Services Task Force. 50-74 every TWO yearsMayo Clinic and the American Cancer Society continue to

recommend screenings for women 40 years of age and olderThe Breast Cancer Site, along with the National Cancer Institute,

The American Cancer Society, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, the American Medical Association, and the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, encourages all women to discuss the risks and benefits of getting a mammogram with their doctors
