Welcome to All
Breast Thermography.org is the place to find information concerning breast thermal imaging. Thermography is a medical screening device for breast cancer and other breast disease using infrared detectors, commonly called infrared cameras. This procedure is non invasive and does not use radiation. It is complimentary to mammography and causes no harm to the patient.
Thermography has been approved by the United States FDA since 1983 for the adjunctive screening of breast cancer. Recent studies have shown thermography to be effective in women with health breasts at 97% sensitivity.
Breast Thermography.org has been on the internet for over 14 years.
The updating stopped with the passing away of Dr. William Cockburn in January 2012. In memory of him and his works you will now find this archived Version of his website, including the library of articles and the image library which is for your education and use. DISCLAIMER: Please bare in mind that the site is no longer rebuild and modernized: Thermal imaging facts will change over time as new announcements or scientific studies are made.
