Comment Really... Thermography??? (Score 1) 110
So they say that it is effective in 90% of women and that it detects up to 7 years earlier than a mammogram. How did the 3 clinical trials prove that this is effective? Talking to my wife (an Medical Imaging Professional) Mammograms are the Gold standard. Thermography has been refuted for years as ineffective and a sham...
From http://sunleitehealth.ca/breastthermography.html which is a proponent of similar technology
"Does thermography have the ability to show exactly where there is a tumor?
Thermography does not have the ability to pinpoint the location of a tumor for biopsy purposes. Consequently, for a comprehensive analysis, if indicated, an ultrasound and/or mammography are recommended to complement breast thermography if breast cancer is suspected."
Mammography today can detect micro-calcifications in the breast. it seems that they are using Mammography as it was 20 years ago not as it is today.
I think this is just a bunch of guys wanting to get thermal images of Women's breasts.
