%X Cases are
presented to reveal how modern computerised infra-red thermal imaging has the
potential to assist in early breast cancer detection. The history of
thermography and some recent controversies surrounding mammography are
discussed. Examples of thermal imaging combined with naturopathic interventions
are described. Since 2002, more than 8000 women in New Zealand have chosen to
include thermal imaging as a part of their breast health management. Breast
thermal imaging combined with relevant health advice, resulted in a perceived
worthwhile benefit to patients in managing overall health.
