Early Detection Saves Lives

D.I.T.I.'s (Digital Infrared Thermal Imaging) role in breast cancer and other breast disorders is to help in early detection and monitoring of abnormal physiology and the establishment of risk factors for the development or existence of cancer. When used with other procedures, the best possible evaluation of breast health is made.

This 15 minute non invasive test is a valuable procedure for alerting your GP or specialist to the possibility of underlying breast disease. This test is designed to improve chances for detecting fast-growing, active tumors in the intervals between mammographic screenings or when mammography is not indicated by screening guidelines or for women under 50 years of age.

All patients thermograms (breast images) are kept on record and form a baseline for all future routine evaluations.

Current Early Detection Guidelines

One day there may be a single method for the early detection of breast cancer. Until then, using a combination of methods will increase your chances of detecting cancer in an early stage. These methods include:

• Mammography, when considered appropriate for women who are aged 50 or older.
• Regular DITI screening for women of all ages.
• A regular breast examination by a health professional.
• Monthly breast self-examination.
• Personal awareness for changes in the breasts.
• Rediness to discuss quickly any such changes with a doctor.

  These guidelines should be considered along with your background and medical history.
