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.

Health Care Reform?
According to recent health care reform news, Congress is still miles away from agreeing on a comprehensive health care reform bill. Although Senators and members of the House of Representatives are proposing bills and debating many aspects of the final proposal, bipartisan politics and differing agendas are making agreement nearly impossible.

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.

INFRARED CAMERAS INC. REVEALS A CAMERA USED TO DETECT EARLY SIGNS OF BREAST CANCER
Every woman on the planet worries about getting breast cancer. Until recently women and physicians alike have looked to the mammogram to detect cancerous tissue. Mammography is a painful procedure for a woman to endure in order to find possible cancerous tissue. A woman’s breast must be temporarily pressed between two metal plates for the examination. This is a necessary albeit uncomfortable procedure for women. Now, however, every woman can look forward to a new, non-invasive procedure that will complement the current use of mammography for early cancer detection. The ICI 7320 P series camera gathers infrared energy, emitted by the human body, to detect temperature changes on the surface of the skin. Increased blood flow and growing cancerous tissue produces more heat than non-cancerous tissue making areas of concern evident to the physician as the ICI 7320 P series has the ability to see heat and measure temperature to one hundredth of a degree.
 “In its class, the ICI 7320 P series is the most sensitive camera in the world”, says Gary Strahan, the CEO of Infrared Cameras Inc., producer of the camera. “This infrared camera and software system was designed specifically to image and measure temperature on the human body. This benefits women by giving their doctors a new tool offering a comfortable, non-invasive procedure that works right alongside mammography. Some forms of breast cancer form blood vessels near the surface of the skin to feed cancerous tissue and this is where our ICI 7320 P series camera excels to locate potential problem areas for the patient. We are helping in the fight against breast cancer by offering a system that may detect what a mammogram may not.
Infrared Cameras Inc. builds both handheld and stationary cameras for a number of applications and began developing a medical infrared camera nearly 3 years ago. Increasing worldwide demand for thermal imaging systems has helped provide lower cost components and in effect helped Infrared Cameras Inc. bring medical infrared imaging to the forefront in this new, advanced field of medical research and testing. Very few physicians know how to interpret a thermal image of the human body and Infrared Cameras Inc. is now working with several leading doctors and researchers to explore new diagnostic possibilities with the ICI 7320 P series infrared camera.
The ICI 7320 P series camera has FDA clearance and is available directly through Infrared Cameras Inc. and its distributors worldwide. The main office of Infrared Cameras Inc. is located at 2105 West Cardinal Drive, Beaumont, Texas, 77705. For more information please call (U.S.) 866-861-0788, (International) 409-861-0788. |

Would it be possible that sedating a patient would minimize blood circulation in the diseased organ thus to ensue the effected organ's biochemical thermal reaction to produce a higher thermal differential in the effected areas, thus to improve detecting and a more percise location of the diseased tissue?
