American Fitness: New frontiers in breast cancer

Two of the most exciting, yet overlooked, diagnostic procedures of this century are Digital Infrared Thermal Imaging (DITI) and Contact Regulation Thermography (CRT), otherwise simply termed thermography. Dr. Ali Meschi is a board-certified naturopathic physician at the forefront of this technique. "Thermography is a non-invasive, objective [and] non-radiative tool that uses [body heat] to diagnose the causes of a host of health conditions," he explains. Because it uses no radiation, it is completely safe. Utilizing high speed computers and very accurate thermal imaging cameras, body heat is processed, recorded and translated by a computer. The image map it produces can then be analyzed on screen, printed or sent via e-mail.
