Does DITI take the place of mammography?
No, because whereas mammography is a test of anatomical structure, DITI is a test or measure of function, detecting subtle changes in physiology and metabolic activity within the underlying tissue. In the event of detecting any suspicious asymmetrical changes within the breast tissue, it is advised to have this clinically correlated with mammography and/or ultrasound to pinpoint the precise location of a breast lump or tumour. Therefore DITI does not take the place of Mammography but is an excellent screening device to determine if mammography really is indicated as a confirmatory test. In other words, why have a mammogram if your breast thermal image scans are normal?
