Our Process

Before Your Visit.

  • Your first step is to book your appointment online [CLICK HERE].

  • You will receive your new patient intake forms & pre-exam patient instructions in your confirmation email.

  • Print forms.  Complete, initial and sign where indicated.

  • Read & follow the Pre-Exam Instructions for best results.

  • BRING COMPLETED FORMS WITH YOU TO YOUR VISIT.

Day Of Your Visit.

  • Upon your arrival, you will be greeted by the friendly staff & technician

  • Submit your intake forms, only if you have completed hard copies.  If you completed your intake forms online, just sit back and relax.

  • The Thermographic Technician will escort you to the thermal imaging suite, explain the process and guide you through your painless and empowering experience.

  • The whole process is 100% PRIVATE and takes about 30 minutes.  For the first 15 minutes, and while you are disrobed from the waste up, you will go through the cooling & acclimation process to make sure your skin temperature and the surrounding air temperature normalize.  This provides for the best possible imaging quality.

  • Then, while standing behind a curtain and in front of the thermal camera, a minimum of 8 images are captured.

  • Then you are done!

After Your Visit

  • You will receive your full report with all images in both color & gray scale, VIA E-MAIL, within 7 business days of your exam date.

  • Questions, concerns about your results?  Have questions about what to do next?

  • Contact us to set up a one-on-one time to speak with one of our professionals.

    THERE IS NEVER ANY ADDITIONAL CHARGE FOR THIS!

Understanding

Your Report

  • You will receive your report/results within 10 business days from the day of your exam.

  • Your report is the first step on the road to keeping your breasts for life. It is designed to be patient-friendly and easy-to-understand. A guide to Understanding Your Results will be included.

  • REAL-TIME THERMAL RISK SCORE
    Each breast will be given a Real-Time Thermal Risk Score, using a scale from 1 to 5.
    (1 = Lowest Risk, 5=Highest Risk)

  • VASCULAR DISPLAY GRADING

    This biomarker uses a scale of 0 to 4, where 0 is a very low grading (or sensitivity) and 4 is considered a high vascular grading. THIS VASCULAR DISPLAY GRADING DOES NOT IMPACT THE REAL-TIME RISK SCORE…THEY CAN BE INDEPENDENT OF EACH OTHER,

    A pattern of symmetrical vascular thermal signals is a biomarker that indicates systemic vasodilation and may be associated with breast inflammation, compromised lymphatic circulation, certain medications, and estrogen stimulation of both breasts among other factors. Higher vascular display grades may be normal in certain age groups and under certain conditions such as pregnancy and lactation. The significance of this biomarker is situation dependent. This helps us customize a better wellness specifically for your needs.

    Visualizing the effects of estrogen on the breast blood supply - Lifetime exposure to estrogen has been identified as a significant risk factor for the development of cancer. While thermal imaging cannot directly measure estrogen, the Hormonal Grade is a way to look at the effects of estrogen on the circulation of the breasts. When we measure the level of estrogen and progesterone in the blood, urine or saliva we are looking at the hormonal balance in the whole body. The question remains, what is the effect of these hormone levels on the breasts. Normal fatty tissue in the breasts can actually produce estrogen and will be missed on blood testing and can contribute to risk. Some women have estrogen receptors that are more sensitive or bind estrogen more easily. They may even have low estrogen levels but their breasts are actually being over stimulated by the estrogen they have. By looking at the hormonal grade, we can help put all of these factors into perspective. It is important to recognize some additional factors that can affect the hormonal grade that may or may not be the result of estrogen stimulation. Symmetrical low-grade whole breast inflammation from poor lymph flow can produce mottled thermal patterns that can simulate the appearance of estrogen stimulation in the breasts. Altered thyroid function can create mottling and can directly alter the estrogen progesterone balance. In addition, chronic: pain, stress, hormonal imbalance, allergy, illness, (low-grade) infection, exposure to foods/chemicals for which one is sensitive can also affect nervous and/or immune/lymphatic system function creating mottling. When the hormonal grade is at a 3 or 4, all of these factors should be considered.
