Can I have Thermography instead of a biopsy?
No, thermal imaging can not replace a biopsy, though it can help you and your doctors determine if a biopsy is necessary. Thermal imaging is a physiological evaluation and Mammography is a physical evaluation. Mammography have a 50% accuracy rating while Thermography has 80% and together they are 97%. Ultra Sounds are also a physiological evaluation that can be used with Thermography to give you and your Doctor a better picture of your condition without any Radiation. All of these tools are available to guide you and your Doctor towards an evaluation of your breast health and in assessing the need for biopsy.
