This article, from the National Cancer Institute, reveals a side of infrared thermography that most do not know exists. Midwest Infrared Services, LLC dose not offer this service, as it takes very specialized medical training and licensing to perform this most valuable service, but found it to be informative and interesting. We therefore decided to add this to our news page for your interest.


Breast Cancer Awareness Month

This year over 200,000 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer, and over 40,000 women will die. Medical Infrared Thermal Imaging can detect certain cancers 10 years before a mammogram with over a 90% accuracy and without the discomfort, errors, and radiation associated with mammography.

According to the National Cancer Institute:
• 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer during their lifetime.
• Over 30% of women are diagnosed after breast cancer has spread beyond the localized stage.
• When breast cancer is detected early (localized stage), the 5-year survival rate is 98%
There are four ways in which Medical Thermography services help physicians and their breast cancer patients:
• offers a breast screening option for women reluctant to radiation methods
• enables very early breast cancer detection – even with negative mammogram
• provides compelling physiological data useful in determining the necessity for biopsy following suspicious/inconclusive mammogram
• monitors estrogen activity in the breasts
