breast thermography

The benefit of DITI testing is that it offers a visualization of the current physiology of the breast. The thermal scan is sent to a team of trained medical doctors to be read. They in turn provide a report that the client can take to her health practitioner of choice for follow-up.

The imaging procedure is painless, 100% non-invasive, and emits zero radiation. You and your health care practitioner can review the findings and plan a careful program for your best care.

DITI breast screening is beneficial for women and men ages 23 on up as a complement to a mammogram. It is especially appropriate for younger women who often have denser breast tissue. DITI can provide a clinical non-invasive visual marker to the doctor or mammographer that a specific area of the breast needs particularly close examination.

preparing for your thermography screening and the procedure

Preparing for your scan is simple, but crucial for accurate results. Avoid any stimulating therapy, such as physical therapy, electromyography, acupuncture, or chiropractic work within three days your thermography appointment. Do not smoke or participate in vigorous exercise 2 hours before the screening. Do not use any lotions, liniments or creams, or shave the day of your scan. Avoid strong sunlight exposure the day of your appointment. If you can, complete any forms in advance and provide details to the questionnaires and bring them with you. Be sure to bring along your list of medications and/or supplements.

You will be provided with a cover-up and given time to adjust to the temperature of the 21^oC (69.8^oF) room while the thermographer reviews the questionnaire and overview of your medical history with you and updates your electronic chart. Being accurate and thorough is critical for the doctors to have an accurate understanding of your health history, your current complaints and your images. This part of the screening process takes the longest!

Depending on the type of screening, you will be in various states of undress and seated or standing for the various images. The thermographer will ask you to turn and face different directions. The lights will be turned down so that the thermographer can better focus your images on the computer screen. When all the images have been taken and saved, you are able to dress, pay for the service, and go on your way. You are encouraged to ask questions at any time!
