Fibrocystic Assessment Previous Score: NACurrent Score: 4No Change
Comparative Study None
General Impressions The right breast shows a higher thermal activity demonstrated by a global delta t of 0.82ºc which issignificantly higher than the threshold, also some areas of focal hyperthermia with deltas as high as4.19ºc are present including right nipple hyperthermia, along with questionable patterns of vascularity,creating the need for anatomical testing and thermal follow up in 6 months to establish a baseline.The moderate mottling patterns noted across the breasts, bilaterally, may indicate fibrocystic changes.Consultation with an integrative doctor is recommended in order to assess hormone levels, eliminatetoxins that may be producing these abnormal heat patterns, and improve overall lifestyle.
Recommendations Anatomical testing (mammogram, MRI, or ultrasound is recommended, Lifestlye changes
Follow-up 6 months

A Note to the Physician
Relevant comments are made to direct the physician in clinical management. This important tool should be used in addition to the physician's otherdiagnostic tools to create a complete clinical impression. The areas highlighted represent areas of concern that may need to be investigated by clinicalcorrelation and other testing. This may include physical, exam, palpation, radiology, metabolic testing, or other traditional methods of diagnosing.Thermographic imaging is a screening test that alerts of possible areas of pathology at the indicated levels. Normal variants are also common. Sometimespathological findings appear earlier than tradition tests. Close thermal follow-up is highly recommended over time.
*Thermographic Wellness, Inc is a PACT certified interpretation service that has contracted the above interpreters for this evaluation.Interpreted and reviewed by Thermographic Wellness, Inc based on the standards of the Professional Academy of Clinical Thermology.
DESCRIPTION OF THE CLINICAL THERMAL IMAGING STUDYThe patient above was examined by digital infrared thermal imaging using a high-resolution thermographic camera specific for clinical applications.Standardized thermography protocols were observed which are designed to optimize clinical correlation of thermal patterns.
Medical Thermography is a system using a highly technical and non-contact infrared camera to capture and record temperature variations on the skin, thelargest organ of the body. As such, the surface of the skin provides vital information that is directly influenced by complex metabolic and vascular activity,including micro-circulation, below the surface via the sympathetic nervous system. These patterns of activity vary in intensity and distribution over each bodyregion, represented by images with variation in colors. Detection of variations in skin temperature allows for recognition of asymmetric, abnormal orsuspicious thermal patterns over a specific area or region of interest. Changes of these patterns may be recognized by the interpreter as abnormalphysiology or function.
Thermal AnalysisThis report is based on study guidelines that are based on, but not limited to, side-to-side temperature intensity measurement and comparison, establishedthermological signs including pattern recognition and comparison of changes over time. This method of analysis allows objective clinical correlation by thepatient's physician and contributes to the decision-making process regarding therapy, additional testing and eventual diagnosis.
Breast ThermographyThermography is defined by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA Code of Federal Regulations Sec. 884.2980). Thermography is an adjunctive test anddoes not replace mammography or any other anatomical imaging test. A negative thermogram, mammogram or ultrasound does not preclude biopsy basedon clinical condition. The value of thermography as a screening tool is the non-invasive nature of the test and the unique ability to accurately measure skintemperature changes. Such monitoring affords detection of even subtle thermal changes that, although not independently diagnostic, may precedeanatomical findings by years and prompt early investigation and prevention. As there is no single known test capable of monitoring all complex anatomicaland biological influences of disease, monitoring with additional testing such as ultrasound, MRI, mammography or other testing as recommended by thepatient's personal physician is always advised.
Study OutcomeThis study provides adjunctive clinical information and recommendations based solely upon the images and patient information provided, to support thepatient's physician in medical or health evaluation. All findings in this report are considered by the interpreter to be related to the general health of thereported region. A "Thermographically Suspicious" finding in this report does not indicate that it is suspicious for any specific disease.
