Early Detection Breakthrough: Is Thermography right for you?
Despite increased awareness levels of breast cancer and mammography, breast cancer statistics continue to get worse. Today, nearly 1 in 7 women will get breast cancer in their lifetime. We know that prevention and early detection of breast cancer are key. But one technology you may not know much about is Thermographcancer early. [Read More] |
Beyond Mammography
The most devastating loss of life from breast cancer occurs between the ages of 30 to 50. Fortunately, women today have more options available to them to help in the detection of breast cancer than in past decades. Unfortunately, education and awareness of these options and their effectiveness in detecting breast cancer at different stages in life are woefully deficient. [Read More] |
Breast Health
Every time I know or hear of someone experiencing the devastation of a cancer diagnosis, it breaks my heart to know that it could have been prevented. Educating myself on the benefits of thermography has taken my awareness of women's health issues to a whole new level. [Read More] |
Cancer Growth
Consider a hypothetical situation. On routine examination, a physician detects a breast lump by palpation on a 62 year old woman. There is a history of fibrocystic disease and mammography shows nothing suspicious. [Read More] |
Mammography Screening Can Survive Malpractice If Radiologists Take Center Stage and Assume the Role of Educator
After affirming that mammography reduces deaths from breast cancer, Daniel B. Kopans, in his insightful editorial that was published earlier this year in Radiology (1), admonished that, unless something is done to limit the number of malpractice lawsuits filed against the radiologists who interpret mammograms, women may lose access to thisdevastating effect of malpractice litigation, but I also believe a major part of the solution to the problem lies in the hands of radiologists themselves.

Advances in breast imaging
Although mammography remains the most widely used tool for the early detection of breast cancers and evaluation of palpable abnormalities, a number of other imaging tools are being developed and used. [Read More] |
Medical Devices and Systems
Joseph D. Bronzino, editor of the handbook, comments that Medical Devices and Systems is an authoritative reference text and is considered the "bible" of biomedical engineering. [Read More] |
Thermography and Cardio Vascular Observations
Thermography is a device that measures the temperature variations on the body. In addition to measuring the hyperthermic infrared radiation, it also detects the variations of hypothermia, which is particularly interesting as it relates to the cardio vascular function. [Read More] |
