Breast thermography is a way of monitoring breast health over a period of time.
Each normal breast has a particular thermographic pattern that does not change over time, very much like a fingerprint. The purpose of the two initial breast studies is to establish this normal baseline pattern to which all future thermograms are compared. With continued breast health, each thermogram is identical with these initial studies. Any changes developing means that something new is happening within the breast which will call for further investigation. The ability to interpret initial studies is limited because there are no previous scans for comparison.
