Bursting Into Life

      Thermographic Imaging for the early detection of breast abnormalities is available at Bursting Into Life.  The only technology today that can detect abnormal cellular activities 5 - 10 years prior to cancerous tumours. 

Presently, regular mammograms are the prescribed tools for early detection of cancer.  They can often detect anatomical abnormalities such as lumps that already existing in the breast.  However, lumps and other breast abnormalities generally do not appear overnight.  Long before they are discovered through mammogram, ultrasound, or self-examination, their cellular contributors are hard at work, causing vascular changes in the breast. 

Cancer cells require a supply of blood in order to flourish and survive.  Being aggressive, they create their own pathways to obtain nourishment. 

Mammograms cannot detect this invisible, cellular process, which usually occurs in breast tissue five to ten years before the slightest growth of a lump is discovered. 

Infrared breast thermography is a leading technology and a method of earliest detection of breast abnormalities presently known. 

Thermography uses infrared imaging to generate highly detailed digital pictures.  It is a non-invasive, radiation-free, 100% safe and painless process.  Since there is no compression of the breast, it is ideal for the very young, women with painful fibrocystic breasts and women with breast implants as well. 

The American Journal of Radiology has published its findings of a four-year clinical trial that tested thermographic imaging efficiency.  Researchers concluded that infrared imaging is a safe modality that provides physiological data about a lesion.  With toxic radiation, mammogram testing compresses sensitive breast tissue causing pain and possible tissue damage.  The false negative and false positive rates of mammography are a troubling 30% and 89% respectively.  Another concern is that many breast cancers occur below the armpits; however, mammography completely misses this auxiliary region, viewing only the breast tissue compressed between two plates of glass.  Considering these drawbacks, breast thermography should be given closer consideration.

Yes, men can get breast cancer too.  Thermographic imaging is a safe method for early detection in men just as well.  Please check out the following web page for more nformation:

Thermography Clinics will be hosted by Bursting Into Life periodically about 2 to 3 times a year.  The screening is done by 1 trained (female) technician.  Each patient has their allocated 45-minute appointments in a private room with the technician.  The images are sent to MD's and OBGYN's that are specially trained in reading thermographic images.  Your results will take about 10 days via mail.  The cost is 275.00 (GST and diagnostics incl.)  The test is not covered by OHIP, but some extended health care might provide for the cost.  Please call your insurance company to see whether such screening is covered by your benefit plan.   

Thermography Clinic dates & times:

Available on Sundays by appointment only!

Please call or e-mail to schedule an appointment.  Space is limited since the screening takes a bit long and there are only so many patients we can see in a day.  I apologize in advance if I cannot fit someone in at this time.
