	What is Breast Thermography? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Thermography is a painless, non invasive, state of the art clinical test without any exposure to radiation and is used as part of an early detection program which gives women of all ages the opportunity to increase their chances of detecting breast disease at an early stage.
		Thermography's role in breast cancer and other breast disorders is to help in early detection and monitoring of abnormal physiology and the establishment of risk factors for the development or existence of cancer.
		Thermography, with its non-radiation, non-contact and low-cost basis has been clearly demonstrated to be a valuable and safe early risk marker of breast pathology, and an excellent case management tool for the ongoing monitoring and treatment of breast disease when used under carefully controlled clinical protocols.

		Thermography is an imaging technique that uses specialised infrared cameras to photograph the breast or other soft tissue.
		Thermography can detect an abnormality when it is the size of a grain of rice, as opposed to mammograms which can only detect masses when they are the size of a grape or larger.
		Breast thermography has undergone extensive research since the late nineteen fifties, and has already been the subject of over 800 peer reviewed studies, involving well over 300,000 women, some of whom were followed for up to twelve years.

	Physicians Area \| Breast Thermography Physician’s Review
		The underlying principle by which thermography (infrared imaging) detects pre-cancerous growths and cancerous tumors surrounds the well documented recruitment of existing vascularity and neoangiogenesis which is necessary to maintain the increased metabolism of cellular growth and multiplication.
		In order to evaluate the value of thermography, two viewpoints must be considered: first, the sensitivity of thermograms taken preoperatively in patients with known breast carcinoma, and second, the incidence of normal and abnormal thermograms in asymptomatic populations (specificity) and the presence or absence of carcinoma in each of these groups.
		Thermography, however, is based on thermodynamics and thermokinetics, which are unfamiliar to most physicians, though man is experiencing heat production and exchange in every situation he undergoes or creates.

	What is Breast Thermography
		Breast thermography is a diagnostic procedure that images the breasts to aid in the early detection of breast cancer.
		Because of breast thermography's extreme sensitivity, these temperature variations and vascular changes may be among the earliest signs of breast cancer and/or a pre-cancerous state of the breast.
		Breast thermography's ability to detect a pre-cancerous state of the breast, or signs of cancer at an extremely early stage, lies in its unique capability of monitoring the temperature variations and blood vessel alterations produced by the earliest changes in tissue physiology (function)(3,6,7,8,9).
