DITI's role in breast cancer and other breast
disorders is to help in early detection and
monitoring of abnormal physiology and the
establishment of risk factors for the
development or existence of cancer. When
used with other procedures the best
possible evaluation of breast health is made.

DETECTING PAIN AND INJURIES
This is a patient that presented to us with
chronic shoulder and arm pain. His MRI
and X-Ray found no problem a surgeon
could help. They gave him no real
solutions except for long term pain pills.
Then he came for a DITI. You can
visually see the white spots that indicate
exactly where the inflammation is coming
from. After this imaging, we were able to
work on the exact problems and give him
permanent relief using our advanced
equipment here at The Genesis Center.

Digital Infrared Thermal Imaging for Identifying Injuries and Early Detection of Breast Cancer What is Infrared Imaging? Digital infrared thermal imaging is a totally non-invasive clinical imaging procedure for detecting and monitoring a number of diseases and physical injuries, by showing the thermal abnormalities present in the body. It is used as an aid for diagnosis and prognosis, as well as monitoring therapy progress, within many clinical fields, including: Neurology Rheumatology Oncology Chiropractic Physiotherapy Sports Medicine Dentistry Pediatrics Breast Health Orthopedics Procedure: Unlike most diagnostic tests D.I.T.I. is non invasive and there are no risks or side effects. Images or "Thermograms" can be taken of the whole body or just areas being investigated. The digitized images are stored on a computer and can be sent electronically to a Thermologist (thermal imaging specialist) for further evaluation and reporting. Your report is color printed and a copy can also be sent to your healthcare professional. Many of you have chronic pain. So many times the MRI or x-ray doesn't help the practitioner identify the source or root of the problem. Let Infra-red imaging help identify the cause. Most pain actually comes from soft tissue injuries. MRI and x-ray do not do a very good job at finding the source of soft tissue pain. They are used mainly for broken bones and to look at the spinal column and spine when a surgical intervention is needed. Soft tissue pain is the source of pain for multi-millions of chronic-long term sufferers. . For example, look at the picture of the man below. Breast Health "Early detection saves lives" All patients thermograms (breast images) are kept on record and form a baseline for all future routine evaluations. Increase your chances of detecting breast cancer in its earliest stages. Current Early Detection Guidelines One day there may be a single method for the early detection of breast cancer. Until then, using a combination of methods will increase your chances of detecting cancer in an early stage. These methods include : Mammography, when considered appropriate for women who are aged 50 or older. Regular DITI screening for women of all ages. A regular breast examination by a health professional. Monthly breast self‑examination. Personal awareness for changes in the breasts. Readiness to discuss quickly any such changes with a doctor. These guidelines should be considered along with your background and medical history. PROCEDURE : DITI of the breast offers the opportunity of earlier detection of breast disease than has been possible with breast self examination, doctor examination or mammography alone. It takes years for a tumor to grow, and the earliest possible indication of abnormality is needed to allow for the earliest possible treatment and intervention. Who? DITI is especially appropriate for younger women between 30 & 50 whose denser breast tissue makes it more difficult for mammography to pick up suspicious lesions. This test can provide a "clinical marker" to the doctor or mammographer that a specific area of the breast needs particularly close examination. Breast cancers tend to grow significantly faster in younger women under 50: YOUR AGE AVERAGE TUMOR DOUBLING TIME Under 50 --- 80 days Age 50 - 70 --- 157 days Over Age 70 --- 188 days Source: Cancer 71:3547-3551, 1993 The faster a malignant tumor grows, the more Infrared radiation it generates. For younger women in particular, results from DITI screening can lead to earlier detection and ultimately, better survival rates. Take Responsibility for your own Breast Health Doctors do not yet know how to prevent breast cancer. However you can increase your chances of detecting breast cancer in its earliest stages by understanding the need for, and participating in an early detection program. Only about 20 percent of biopsied breast lumps are cancerous. And, if cancer is found early, there are choices for treatment. With prompt treatment, the outlook is good. In fact, most women treated for early breast cancer will be free from breast cancer for the rest of their lives. Regular DITI screening can provide an early alert for possible referral to mammography, sonography, or MR1 to improve early detection by your doctor. |
DITI For Detecting Pain and Sports Injuries
This patient presented with chronic,
long term pain of the shoulder and
upper arm. A MRI and X-Ray both
found nothing wrong with the area of
pain. His only option was long term
pain medications. After this
thermography, we were able to treat
his soft tissue pain very specifically
based on the areas of inflammation
seen in the image. Using our
high-tech equipment at The Genesis
Center has given him a life without
pain.

This 15 minute non invasive test is a
valuable procedure for alerting your GP
or specialist to the possibility of
underlying breast disease. This test is
designed to improve chances for
detecting fast-growing, active tumors in
the intervals between mammographic
screenings or when mammography is
not indicated by screening guidelines or
for women under 50 years of age.

DITI is a non invasive test. This means there
is no contact with the body of any kind, no
radiation and the procedure is painless.
DITI detects the subtle physiologic changes
that accompany breast pathology, whether it
is cancer, fibrocystic disease, an infection or
a vascular disease. Your doctor can then plan
accordingly and lay out a careful program to
further diagnose and /or MONITOR you until
other standard testing becomes conclusive.
This allows for the earliest possible treatment.
