The Truth About Breast Thermography
Breast thermography is a clinical diagnostic procedure which uses highly specialized infra red cameras to measure the heat coming from the body, in this case, the breast. Thermography has been approved for this purpose for many years by the US FDA (United States Food and Drug Administration) and in the past two years (2001-2002) many new doctors and technicians have entered the field.

Thermal Imaging Cameras in Airports
After the outbreak of SARS flu outbreak a few years ago, several major airports in Asia discovered the benefits of utilizing infrared thermal imaging camera technology. The Thermal cameras are an effective way to implicate infrared surveillance and virus monitoring in order to control the spread by travelers of the new H1N1 virus- commonly known as the swine flu.

Thermal Cameras in Modern Medicine
Cancer is said to be a dangerous disease; however it is not necessary that all cancer patients die, as with the timely detection and treatment it is possible to survive from cancer. Today medical science has turned to technology to help them detect cancer cells and prevent its spread which is made possible through infrared cameras. Read the Full Story
Mammography vs Thermography
According to the CDC, breast cancer is the second most common cancer among women and is one of the top ten causes of death among women in the United States. These numbers are frightening and early and accurate detection is vital in order to catch the disease in its early stages and begin lifesaving treatment. There are different methods that are used to detect breast cancer but not all of these methods can give the early detection that is required in order to save lives.

As many of us are well aware, the current crisis with H1N1 Flu is its ability to spread rapidly across countries and time zones usually through airports and other hubs of travel. As a result Google has begin trending keyword searches which relate to the influenza epidemic. Astonishingly they found that they could trend flu outbreaks and potential areas by using algorithms and keyword searches. The result was a Google system that seems to accurately track and predict the spread of the H1N1 and other viral infections. They have begun trending this information and are generally 2 weeks ahead of the CDC when it comes to tracking and predicting outbreaks. Each week, millions of users around the world search for online health information. As you might expect, there are more flu-related searches during flu season, more allergy-related searches during allergy season, and more sunburn-related searches during the summer. You can explore all of these phenomena using Google Insights for Search. But can search query trends provide the basis for an accurate, reliable model of real-world phenomena?
 With such advanced technology at our disposal it is quite possible that outbreak areas can be identified before hand, and the proper equipment and staff set up ready to screen for potential carriers. By using infrared thermal cameras, such as the ICI Centurion thermal imaging camera, airports and governments around the world can better protect themselves from a costly outbreak of H1N1 Flu or other viruses.
