Mammograms are X-rays of the breast to search for lumps that could be signs of cancer. But they use radiation, which has some risks, and can sometimes even lead to unnecessary treatments or mastectomies. Plus, the process can be uncomfortable due to compression of the chest, potentially causing issues itself. Breast Thermography is a breast cancer screening that analyzes heat from the breast tissue and instead checks blood flow and inflammation as opposed to only identifying lumps. This can show potentially major health issues long before they present as a physical lump. As a result, thermography doesn't use radiation, so it's safer from risks that are typical with mainstream scanning modalities. It's also painless, not requiring any sort of chest compression. Thermorgraphy is known to spot potential problems as early as 2 years into a cancer's development which normally isn’t noticed or symptomatic until much later.
