Thermography is a test of the function and physiology of the body. Its role in breast cancer and breast disorders is to help in the early detection and monitoring of abnormal physiology and the establishment of risk factors for the development or existence of cancer. In addition, it is the only screening tool which can see indications of breast disease 8-10 years earlier than other methods.
