Infrared Thermal Imaging


​​​​​​​Infrared thermal imaging uses a non-contact camera to measure heat patterns on the surface of the body. Temperature changes can reflect inflammation, increased blood flow, or abnormal tissue activity, often before physical changes are visible.
-
No radiation
-
No compression
-
Completely non-invasive
This method focuses on physiological activity, rather than structure.

Benefits for breast health
Breast cancer can trigger increased blood flow and inflammation, which may create detectable heat patterns. Thermal imaging can therefore:
-
Highlight early changes
-
Support ongoing monitoring
-
Be safely repeated at any age
While not diagnostic on its own, it provides valuable early insight when used alongside other imaging methods.
Ultrasound imaging
Ultrasound uses sound waves to create detailed images of internal tissue. It is particularly useful for:
-
Distinguishing cysts from solid masses
-
Assessing dense breast tissue
-
Clarifying areas of concern identified on other scans
Ultrasound is also non-invasive and involves no radiation.
The benefit of combining both methods
When used together:
-
Thermal imaging identifies early functional changes
-
Ultrasound provides clear structural confirmation
This combined approach improves accuracy and confidence, especially when reports are reviewed by qualified CQC-registered doctors, including:
-
A qualified gynaecologist
-
A musculoskeletal specialist, supporting assessment beyond breast health where inflammation or tissue stress is involved
