Research
Over 800 peer-reviewed studies on thermography exist in the index-medicus literature. Strict standardized interpretation protocols have been established for over 15 years. Mammography, MRI, ultrasound refer to anatomy. Thermography, however, is based on thermodynamics and thermokinetics; unfamiliar to most physicians, though man is experiencing heat production and exchange in every situation he undergoes or creates.

Infrared imaging offers a safe, noninvasive procedure that would be valuable as an adjunct to mammography in determining whether a lesion is benign or malignant with a 99% predictive value.
