A thermo mammogram, often referred to as thermography, is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses infrared cameras to detect heat patterns and blood flow in breast tissue. It is primarily used as a complementary tool to traditional mammography for early detection of breast abnormalities. Unlike standard mammograms, thermograms do not involve radiation, making them a safer option for some patients. However, they are not a replacement for conventional mammography and should be used in conjunction with other diagnostic methods.
