What is Digital Infrared BreastScan?
Digital Infrared BreastScan technology and one of the few breast cancer screening technologies that has been developed with breast cancer in mind. It is the only known digital infrared technology that applies state-of-the-art algorithms to interpret the screening result, making the analysis less dependent of human interpretation. Digital Infrared BreastScan is a breast screening technology. Its sole purpose is to identify potential breast abnormalities, just like mammography, ultrasound and MRI. The only way in which one can be 100% sure if an abnormality is cancer is by taking a biopsy. Digital Infrared BreastScan requires the woman to disrobe and sit still in front of an infrared camera and cool air circulator for 4 minutes. Over this period approx. 1,000 digital pictures will be taken and analysed. There is no contact with the machine or the operator.
