Really???? No one???? I too would be curious to hear feedback on this.

Why not conventional mammo? I don't think thermal imaging has been proven to be all that effective. Mammo is still the standard of care, with adjunctive imaging more often done by US or MRI.

i googled this an only 2 entries showed up for "thermal mammogram." I assume this is different from a standard or ultrasound mammogram? I've had an ultrasound one, and it was very very unremarkable.

I found it rather humorous that this post was adjacent to the "cold boobs" post. :-)

hello! i am "the club oddball" and do not solely focus on the "standards of care" or conventional applications, as i approach things more hollisitcally and have interest in naturopathic medicine and therapies. i'm interested in modern therapies, ancient ones, etc, and then decide what's best for me.
thermal does not smash the breast tissue, and does not put radiation into the breast. i'm interested in the science of it, and feel it is a very good tool, more so than a mammo (which i refuse to have). besides the damage that a mammo can cause, the stats on the mammo aren't impressive, IMO.
also, i pay for my own healthcare so i need to be considerate of costs. a thermal reading is realtively affordable and IMO, a very good tool that is under-utilized.

i like this for women under 40, as we tend to have denser breast tissue, and mammo is not always able to detect through dense fibrous breasts. my plan is to get one soon, if anyone is interested i will report on it here for the womens.
I would be very interested in your results with this test. I have to have a mammogram each year. I have had 4 biopsies to which the lumps were benign. I would just like to have an alternative if possible.
