Breast Thermography and Clinical Applications
|
From Flir Systems Incorporated
Breast Thermography is an imaging procedure where infrared images of the breast are analyzed and rated to determine the risk of developing breast cancer. The infrared imaging process allows one to see the range and amount of heat or thermal energy emitted from the body. Structural tests, such as mammograms and ultrasound rely on finding physical lesions (anatomy), while breast thermography detects asymmetrical blood vessel circulation (physiology) within the breast. Products & Services
Thermal imagers detect heat patterns in the infrared wavelength (1 micron to 100 micron) spectrum.
