Guest guest Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 Just curious, since a thread on thermography has started...Following a mammogram and then ultrasound, revealing a cyst, I had a thermogram run. I figured, going forward, that I would like to track with thermography rather than radiation. The thermogram, performed about 2 months after the ultrasound, showed nothing. Since it shows variation in heat, wouldn't you expect something to show up, hot or cold? Anyone know? or have an explanation for why nothing showed on the thermogram?

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 Thermography works for breast CA because the cancer has increased vascular supply which looks hotter. A cyst does not - natdoc48 Monday, March 19, 2007 4:06 PM thermography Just curious, since a thread on thermography has started...Following a mammogram and then ultrasound, revealing a cyst, I had a thermogram run.
