Thermography: Is It A Reliable Alternative To Mammograms?
In discussions about mammography or breast screenings, you may have heard the word “thermography” suggested as an alternative to mammograms. But what is thermography? Is it a good alternative for those who find mammograms uncomfortable or painful or are concerned about radiation exposure? Short answer: while mammography isn’t perfect, it remains the best screening tool for breast cancer in the United States. We’ll dive into the science of thermography and mammograms so that you have the information you need to talk to your doctor about what breast screening options are right for you.
We are looking for volunteers to help us sew heart-shaped pillows for breast cancer patients. They help relieve pain from surgical incisions, protect against accidental bumps, and are great in the car to avoid contact with the seat belt. VBCF includes them in all of our outgoing Newly Diagnosed Kits.
