Another major advantage of thermography is the ability to monitor in the dynamics of breast health. By performing regular scans:

    • Functional changes can be detected before they become visible by other imaging methods.
    • Tumor development can be prevented through early intervention.
    • The progression of chronic benign conditions can be carefully monitored.

The development of anomalies can be prevented through the effective use of breast thermography.

Results of recent research

    • Recent studies have shown that thermography can identify functional changes in the early stages of breast cancer, sometimes even before they are detectable by mammography.

Recent studies highlight the importance of mammography in detecting health problems.

  • The use of AI has improved the sensitivity and specificity of thermography, reducing the rate of false positive and false negative results.

What you need to know before a thermography.

Breast thermography is a safe and effective method for risk assessment in women.

    • It is essential that the investigation be conducted in a controlled environment, respecting acclimatization protocols (room temperature, avoiding the application of creams before examination).
    • Thermography is a complementary method, not a substitute for mammography or other diagnostic tests.

It is essential to follow the examination protocols for breast thermography.

The importance of thermography in breast cancer prevention

Benefits of Breast Thermography in Breast Cancer Prevention

The importance of breast thermography in breast cancer prevention cannot be underestimated.

Mammography thermography is a simple, safe, and non-invasive investigation that takes place in a specialized clinic equipped with high-performance equipment. Here are the stages of the process, from patient preparation to result interpretation:

Patients benefit from detailed, personalized assessments through breast thermography.

1. Patient preparation before the investigation

Proper preparation before breast thermography is crucial for accurate results.

Before performing thermography, the patient must follow a few instructions:

  • Avoiding products applied to the skinDo not use creams, oils, deodorants, or other products on the day of the examination, as they can affect the skin's thermal distribution.
  • Avoiding heat exposureDo not use saunas, hot baths, or electric blankets for at least 24 hours beforehand.
  • Exclusion of strenuous physical activitiesIntense exercise can alter heat patterns and blood flow, so avoid it 24 hours prior.
  • Balancing body temperatureDo not consume hot or cold beverages immediately before the examination.

2. Arriving at the office and acclimatizing

When he arrives at the thermography office, the patient is invited into a specially equipped room:

A controlled environment is necessary for effective breast thermography.

  • Controlled temperatureThe camera is maintained at a constant temperature to ensure measurement accuracy.
  • Acclimatization periodThe patient rests quietly in the examination room for 10-15 minutes to allow skin temperature to stabilize.

3. Positioning and acquisition of thermographic images

Correct positioning is essential for obtaining clear images in breast thermography.

  • Correct positioningThe patient is positioned standing or sitting so that the thermographic camera has a clear view of both breasts.
  • Catchment areaThe camera is placed at an optimal distance, usually between 1 and 1.5 meters, to capture clear and detailed images.
  • Image captureMultiple images are taken from different angles (front, left/right side, and, if necessary, images of the armpits).

A thermal camera uses ultrasensitive sensors to record the infrared radiation emitted by a body and creates a digital map of the temperature distribution.

4. Using artificial intelligence for interpretation

The use of artificial intelligence in interpreting thermographic images improves diagnostic accuracy.

After capturing the images:

  • Automatic processingThe images are analyzed using AI-based software. It detects abnormal areas, such as significant temperature differences or atypical vascular patterns.
  • Comparative analysisIf the patient has previous examinations, the current images are compared with the old ones to detect subtle changes.
  • Analysis of thermographic asymmetries: Custom avatar and color code
  • One of the most advanced tools used in breast thermography is the generation of a custom avatar to the patient which allows visualization of symmetry differences between the breast and axillary regions.
  • How does the thermographic avatar work?

             ✔ Capturing thermal dataInfrared images taken during the investigation are digitally processed to identify temperature variations between the mammary and axillary regions.

            ✔ Avatar CreationAI generates a virtual avatar representing body temperature distribution.

  • Color code:

            ✔ Normal temperature zones are marked with neutral colors.

           ✔ Significant thermal differences are highlighted with more intense colors, such as shades of orange, red, and brown.

  • Detection of thermographic asymmetries

           ✔ Breast AsymmetriesAI measures temperature differences between the two mammary glands, providing clues about possible vascular dysfunction, inflammation, or tumor risks.

           Axillary analysisComparing the axillary regions adjacent to the breasts allows for the detection of changes associated with the lymphatic system or local inflammations.

Detailed reporting is an advantage of using breast thermography in diagnosis.

  • Detailed reportingThe algorithm calculates exact differences, assigns them a degree of clinical significance, and integrates them into a clear and easy-to-understand visual report.
  • Benefits of using AI and thermographic avatar

         Increased accuracyThe color code and graphical representation help the doctor quickly identify areas with increased risk. 

         ✔ Personalized monitoringComparing the current avatar with previous thermographic images allows for the evaluation of the patient's progress.

        ✔ Increased confidencePatients can more easily understand the results thanks to the clear and intuitive graphical visualization.

5. Review and explain the results

The specialist doctor examines the images and interpretations generated by artificial intelligence, providing the patient with a complete report:

  • Clear explanationsThe observed heat patterns and their significance are discussed. For example, areas of hyperthermia can suggest inflammation, increased blood flow, or possible tumors.
  • Personalized recommendations: If there are suspicions, the patient is recommended for further investigations (mammography, ultrasound, MRI, biopsy).

6. Advantages of a thermography visit

  • Short durationThe entire procedure, including acclimatization, takes approximately 30 minutes.
  • Maximum comfortIt does not involve pain, radiation, or contrast agents.
