The use of Digital Infrared Imaging is based on the principle that metabolic activity in pre-cancerous tissue is higher than in normal breast tissue. In a need for nutrients, cancerous tumors increase circulation to their cells by holding open existing blood vessels and creating new ones ("neoangiogenesis"). This results in an increase in surface temperatures of the breast. These variations can indicate a pre-cancerous state.

The OmniBody Scan is a liquid nitrogen camera that uses sensitive medical infrared lenses to detect these temperature variations. And, it does this without the harmful effects of radiation.

Over 800 peer-reviewed studies on breast thermography exist in the index-medicus literature. An abnormal infrared image may even be more significant, as an indicator and warning, than family history.

Inflammatory Breast Cancer (IBC) is an advanced form of breast cancer usually not detected by mammograms or ultrasounds and requires immediate aggressive treatment with chemotherapy and surgery.

Some women who have Inflammatory Breast Cancer  remain undiagnosed for long periods even while seeing their doctor.

The symptoms are similar to a breast infection and the woman may mistakenly receive antibiotics. Inflammatory Breast Cancer usually grows in sheets rather than a mass. This means that it can spread throughout the breast with no tumor and can avoid detection. The cancer clogs the lymphatic system just below the skin.

Infrared imaging’s advantage is the ability to identify areas of inflammation.
