What is better Mammography or thermography?
The answer is simple, neither is better. Certain types of Cancer can only be found by Mammography while other types are more easily viewed with a thermal imaging camera. The truth is that both of these should be used in conjunction with each other to fully and accurately identify cancers.The use of thermal imaging for breast cancer can be an extremely accurate and early detection device, allowing doctors to find certain types of cancers up to 8 - 10 years prior to a mammogram. And over and extended period of time, thermograms can prove useful in find any abnormalities that may appear on a patient."Thermal Imaging can detect certain cancers 10 years before a mammogram with a 90% accuracy and without the discomfort, errors, and radiation associated with mammography."Personally I think Thermography is better than Mammography in it's accuracy and non-contact usage. But Obviously, it is more beneficial to the patient to use every means possible to find any possible cancers or anomalies as early as possible. So both should be used in conjunction.More information can be found at www.MedicalIR.com
