Wednesday, October 4th at Studio Gaia we will be offering Digital Infrared Thermal Imaging through Medical Thermography of Metro St. Louis. BY APPOINTMENT ONLY.
D.I.T.I. is a totally non-invasive clinical imaging procedure for detecting and monitoring a number of diseases and physical injuries by showing the thermal abnormalities present in the body.
We have several different options (breast, half body, full body, area of interest).
Thermography is great for:
Detecting cell changes in arm pit area. The arm pit area is an area that mammography isn't always good at screening.
Thermography can be used as an additional test to help women and their care teams make more informed treatment decisions.
It Doesn't Hurt. The pressure of a mammogram machine is equivalent to putting a 50-pound weight on your breast, which can be quite painful for most women.
No radiation. Another reason the United States Preventative Services Task Force reversed its aggressive mammogram guidelines was because of the exposure to radiation. It's well known that excessive doses of radiation can increase your risk of cancer. (Semelka 4). It's ironic that the test women are using for prevention may be causing the very problem they're trying to avoid in the first place! And this doesn't even touch on the harm done to the body from unnecessary biopsies, lumpectomies, mastectomies, chemotherapy, radiation treatment, and so forth.
Thermography is very safe. Thermography is even safe for pregnant and nursing women! It's merely an image of the heat of your body.
You can schedule your thermal scan with Medical Thermography of Metro St. Louis by calling (618) 779-5378 or by signing up through the Studio Gaia website.
