Thermography and Breast Density

10/14/2014

 
Breast density may affect the results of a mammogram and may result in a false sense of security especially when the woman has dense breasts.  Denser breasts contain less fat and more connective and glandular tissue which appear white on a mammogram, similar to a cancerous tumour.  Some cancerous tumors can remain undetected by mammograms for many years in women with dense breasts which may lead to poor survival outcomes. 
 
Thermography is a great tool to assess breast health for women with dense breasts as it is a non-invasive functional testing of heat patterns and is not affected by breast density. 
 
It is important for woman to know what type of breasts they have and discuss the best breast screening tool with their healthcare provider.
