Digital Thermal Imaging (DITI's) role in breast cancer and other breast disorders is to help in early detection and monitoring of abnormal physiology and the establishment of risk factors for the development or existence of cancer. When used with other procedures the best possible evaluation of breast health is made. 

This 15 minute non invasive test is a valuable procedure for alerting your GP or specialist to the possibility of underlying breast disease.  The DITI test is designed to improve chances for detecting fast-growing, active tumours in the intervals between mammographic screenings or when mammography is not indicated by screening guidelines for women under 50 years of age.

The Medical Community does not yet know how to prevent breast cancer. However, you can increase your chances of detecting breast cancer in its earliest stages by understanding the need for, and participating in an early detection program.  Only about 20 percent of biopsied breast lumps are cancerous. And, if cancer is found early, there are choices for treatment.

With prompt treatment, the outlook is good. In fact, most women treated for early breast cancer will be free from breast cancer for the rest of their lives.

The DITI session can provide a 'clinical marker' to the doctor or mammographer  that a specific area of the breast needs particularly close examination Mammography
