The technician takes the images in a relaxed, private setting.
The first three breast images are taken after the patient disrobes above the waist and acclimates to the room temperature for ten minutes.
The patient holds her arms over her head and away from the heart, facing three different angles.
A second set of identical images are taken after the hands are submerged in very cold water to lower body temperature.
This creates contrast in the images.
The images are sent off to a lab specializing in thermographic cancer detection and evaluated.
The evaluations are then returned to your doctor.
