​

Dose my "Full Body Scan" also include the breasts?

Yes, your full body will be including your breast screening.

​

Can thermography see cancer?

No, Thermography cannot "see" a cancer. It detects physiological changes that may suggest

an increased risk of cancer at a cellular level, even before it becomes visible on a mammogram.

A biopsy is the only thing that can diagnose your cancer. 

​

What can Thermography detect besides breast cancer?​

Thermography can indicate estrogen dominance, lymphatic congestion, and the effects of a

person's diet on breast health. It's a tool not just for disease detection but for

monitoring overall health and the effectiveness of lifestyle changes.

​​

What is the difference between a Mammogram and a Thermogram?

Mammography uses radiation to capture images of breast anatomy and structure,

Thermography, on the other hand, is a physiological test that measures subtle temperature

changes on the skin's surface associated with underlying pathology,

without using radiation or compression.

​

Do I get my report on the same day to take home with me?
