Yes. The IACT requires an additional 25 hours in breast protocols and analysis in addition to a general certification as a clinical thermographer to be breast imaging certified. Thermographic breast analysis is an extremely complex topic and should only be performed by a qualified doctor. Technician certification through the IACT includes breast imaging protocol. If the facility you are planning to visit is run by a certified technician, ALWAYS inquire as to the certification of the interpreter of your examination.
