Combined Breast Screening Options Empower Women

Space Coast Thermography and Space Coast Ultrasound have teamed up to offer additional options for breast screening. There are several adjunct screening tools currently in use to help detect breast cancer including mammography, thermography, ultrasound, and MRI. “None of these imaging methods are “stand alone” tools for the detection of cancer,” says Kristen Barry owner of Space Coast Thermography. “The research shows that when a multimodal approach is used with clinical breast exam paired with both thermography (test of physiology) and ultrasound (test of anatomy), the accuracy of seeing the earliest warning signs associated with cancer development and finding the smallest tumors are increased to 95-98%. Both Breast Thermography and Breast Ultrasound use no radiation and are non-invasive.”

Space Coast Thermography and Space Coast Ultrasound are working together to empower women with a choice for their breast screening. No doctor referral is needed, and you will receive a thermography report from a Board-Certified Pathologist and an ultrasound report from a Board-Certified Radiologist. Thermography and Ultrasound have proven to be a great combination for younger women whom mammograms are not yet recommended, women with implants, women with dense breasts and women with fibrocystic breast tissue.
