How is Breast Thermography Performed?
Your visit with us is a very thorough process. It begins with simple preparation steps that must be strictly followed before you arrive (Pre-Examination Instructions). Once in the office, you will be asked to complete a breast health history form. You will then meet with our experienced staff to go over the procedure and review your breast health. The examination begins with a visual inspection of the surface of the breasts. This is a standard procedure that correlates any surface findings with the infrared images. Once this is done, you will be left for 15 minutes in order for your body to reach a steady temperature state in equilibrium with the special temperature conditions of the room. After this brief waiting time, you will be positioned in front of the imaging system so that all of the surfaces of the breasts, upper chest, and under arms are imaged.
