    Thermography Images, Including A Greyhound

    in Health and Medical discussion

    Posted

    Yes, it's done here in the US. There's a place here in Charlotte that offers breast thermography. It's more expensive than mammography and isn't covered by insurance.

     

    Here's what is said about the difference. I have no personal experience with it. Just passing this along.

    The Difference Between Mammography and Thermal Imaging

    On top of the radiation, compression, cost, and psychological issues caused by mammography, there is another thing that differentiates it from thermal imaging. The difference is in what the two detection systems look for: “Mammography and ultrasound depend primarily on structural distinction and anatomical variation of the tumor from the surrounding breast tissue…Infrared imaging detects minute temperature variations related to vascular flow and can demonstrate abnormal vascular patterns associated with the initiation and progression of tumors.”xxi

    In other words, thermal imaging can detect tumorous activity as it begins to develop a blood supply to sustain its growth. Any increased heat from a localized blood supply would suggest pathology. Yet for mammography, the tumor has to have formed sufficient physical mass and size to be detected.

    Fresh Factors Question

    in Food and dietary discussion

    Just to contribute to his health. He has absolutely no health issues to date, but he was retired after breaking his leg. I was thinking it would be beneficial to start him on a low dose and increase as he ages to hopefully help prevent possible issues before they start.

     

    My girls aren't really having any joint problems at 10 :goodluck, but I started them both on Fresh Factors a few months ago as sort of a preventative and with hope that it would improve Carly's coat which has never looked as good as I thought it should. Both girls have beautiful coasts now and Carly's horrific shedding has decreased. I'd been giving them coconut oil with good results, but the Fresh Factors gave them a gloss I'd not seen in years. My girls get 4 a day (two at each meal).
