Thermoscan Radiation free breast cancer screening South Africa
How does it work?
A digital infra-red thermal system captures images to a specialised software program. The colours on the images indicate increases or decreases in infra-red radiation emitted from the body surface.
What can it do?
Thermography can detect breast cancer before a tumour has even formed. Whats more, it is done without inflicting pain and without exposing you to dangerous radiation by way of reading thermal emissions from your body. This methodology can also detect various other vascular, muscular ailments, sport injuries and spinal problems by showing a “hot spot” or “cold spot”.

Medical Infra-red Thermal Imaging measures the physiological aspect of the breast, while mammography measures the anatomical aspect of the breast. Scientifically, therefore, thermography does not replace mammography. Thermography has been FDA approved as an adjunct to mammography and physical examination. Breast thermography is the only known test for earliest cancer detection. It should be noted that neither mammography nor thermography has the ability to diagnose cancer. A diagnosis of breast cancer can only be made with a biopsy. As we know that one in eight women will get breast cancer, we must use all means possible to detect cancer at the earliest possible moment to ensure the greatest chance for survival.
There are many approaches you can take to prevent breast cancer (or any cancer), including dietary changes and lifestyle modifications.

I learned about thermography and the benefits of thermal imaging during the course of my 20 years of studying natural health. I had 2 benign lumpectomies and when I discovered my 3rd lump I decided I would monitor it via thermography, which showed that I had a high risk for breast cancer. Having made nutritional and lifestyle changes which altered my rating from a high risk to a medium risk after just 6 months, showed me that we can take control and improve our overall health. My passion is to get the word out there to help other women.
