Breast Thermography is a procedure that can detect thermobiological, chemical, and physiological changes in the body by identifying unique heat signatures and thermal abnormalities. It detects early and significant changes in breast tissue and can detect structural changes.

The thermogram is done using infrared imaging to detect breast pathology. It is based on well recognized principles that detect higher metabolic and vascular activity in the tissue surrounding new or developing breast anomalies.

Early breast tumor growth is dependent on increased blood circulation achieved by creating new blood vessels. This results in regional temperature variations that may be detected by infrared imaging. At Dr. Trethart's clinic, we use state of the art, computerized, ultra sensitive infrared cameras to detect tissue temperatures and then display them onto a high resolution monitor.
