Digital Infrared Thermal Imaging (DITI)

Thermograph of breast cancer.

DITI is a key to early detection of breast cancer.  Early detection saves lives.  The benefit of DITI testing is that it can detect troublesome physiological changes before there is detectable cancer.

DITI can provide objective evidence for otherwise unimageable conditions, such as persistent pain patterns following a motor vehicle accident.

DITI also assesses structures which fall outside mammography range and which are difficult to find with ultrasonography.

This patient had a suspicious finding outside of the borders of the breast on her chest wall. Her follow-up mammogram was unremarkable, but targeted ultrasound directed by the DITI and biopsy revealed a malignancy.

Breast Thermography

Digital Infrared Thermal Imaging (DITI) plays a key role in the early detection of breast cancer and other breast disorders by establishing a baseline of normal breast physiology and monitoring physiological changes associated with breast cancer and other pathology.  Frequently, DITI can ascertain these changes years before tumor formation or other progression of disease, thereby allowing early intervention. Early detection saves lives! DITI is painless, totally non-invasive, and emits no radiation.  All women can benefit from DITI, even those who are younger and have dense breast tissues, which can decrease the sensitivity of mammography to as low as 31%.

Breasts are unique with respect to DITI as each breast has its own unique thermal signature.  Normally body structures are compared one side to the other, but breasts are compared to themselves over time.  Once a baseline is established with an initial breast scan, all future scans are compared to this original.  This allows the earliest physiological changes to be detected before any tumor or other pathological change can be identified.

Many women want to know whether mammography or DITI is better.  Neither test is better, they are different.  Mammograms can tell a woman whether she has cancer or not.  DITI detects potentially problematic physiological changes before they manifest into pathology, thereby allowing lifestyle changes or other therapeutic interventions to be employed to reverse the abnormal thermal patterns.  In about 70% of cancer, thermal changes are the first sign of developing pathology.

Half-body Thermography

Half-body thermography imaging includes over 25 images including head, breasts, back, and abdomen. It is appropriate for those seeking guidance for a variety of medical conditions. Digital Infrared Thermal Imaging (DITI) can be used as an aid for diagnosis, determining prognosis, monitoring and documenting a large number of conditions including but not limited to:

  • Back injuries
  • Arthritis
  • Headache
  • Nerve damage
  • Nerve dysfunction
  • Unexplained pain
  • Fibromyalgia
  • Reflex sympathetic dystrophy (Complex regional pain syndrome)
  • Dental issues
  • Temporal mandibular joint disorder
  • Arterial inflammation
  • Vascular disease
  • Breast disease
  • Carpal tunnel syndrome
  • Disc disease
  • Inflammatory pain
  • Skin cancer
  • Referred pain syndrome
  • Sprain/Strain
  • Whiplash
  • Stress fracture
  • Digestive disorders
  • Autoimmune disorders

DITI is not an anatomical test; it is a physiological test.  Therefore, it can provide evidence of diseases or pathological conditions which cannot be otherwise imaged.

Frequently, conditions are very difficult to differentiate.  Are they neurological, vascular, musculoskeletal, endocrine, or of other origin?  DITI can frequently provide the answer to this question and provide a baseline to monitor progress of the condition as treatment progresses.  Additionally, the starting point or location of treatment can be determined by your health care provider after consulting the DITI images and report.

Full-body Thermography
