Breast Thermograms in Connecticut at X To Rays

Suzanne Pyle

Suzanne Pyle has been a Certified Clinical Thermographer since 2006. She has always been active in health issues and physical fitness. As a mother of 3 boys (including twins), she worked part-time as teacher, trainer and manager of Aerobic Dancing, Inc. Since earning a Masters in Nutrition at the University of
Bridgeport in 2001, she has successfully counseled both men and women in proper nutrition and health issues. She is past Treasurer and Director of Professional Nutrition Associates.

Because of heavy radiation exposure as a child and teenager, Suzanne then decided to seek out a safer way for breast and body health screening. After having a Thermogram, she investigated all the cameras and interpretation services. She proudly uses the Meditherm camera which is the only camera FDA approved as a medical devise and Electronic Medical Interpretation which is the only service using only MD’s as Thermologists. As a fellow Thermographer pointed out, “when we are talking about pathology, it’s important that the doctor reading the scans has a full medical background”. Suzanne founded X to Rays in 2006 and now services 100’s of women in CT and surrounding areas. For testimonials, please click on “What patients are saying”.

Thermal Imaging can detect growth patterns in the 2nd year. Why wait until it's too late?

Cell Doubling Rates

Current research has determined that the key to breast cancer survival rests upon its earliest possible detection. If discovered in its earliest stages, 95% cure rates are possible. Thermograms detect cancerous activity 8 years before a mammogram can detect a tumor.

What Doctors are Saying

What Patients are Saying

What is a thermogram?

A thermogram, or as it is also called, Digital Infrared Thermal Imaging, is a FDA approved method of measuring patterns of heat emitted from the body, In relation to breast cancer, a thermogram detects angiogenesis which is the growth of new blood vessels. These new blood vessels feed a tumor and they show up as higher temperature in breast tissue.

What is the difference between a thermogram and a mammogram?

    First, these are two entirely different methods of screening for breast cancer and thermograms in no way replace mammograms. Mammograms detect structure or anatomy such as a tumor; thermograms detect a process or physiology like inflammation or angiogenesis.
Second, mammograms use radiation and compression; thermograms use neither – so there is no damage to fragile, cellular DNA and there is no risk from radiation (and even though mammograms use low radiation, THERE IS NO SAFE LOW RADIATION). For women with BRCA 1or 2, please click on "Research" and then "Clinical Studies."
    Third, thermograms view a larger area (all the way up parallel to and under the arm pit) which is one of the reasons why they have a better detection rate.
    Fourth and most importantly, because thermograms detect the growth of new blood cells, they detect cancerous conditions in the breast up to 8 years before a mammogram can detect a tumor. So since no one knows how to prevent cancer, early detection seems to be your best chance for overcoming this dreaded disease.
