November 14, 2008 - Every woman on the planet worries about getting breast cancer. Until recently women and physicians alike have looked to the mammogram to detect cancerous tissue. Mammography is a painful procedure for a woman to endure in order to find possible cancerous tissue. A woman’s breast must be temporarily pressed between two metal plates for the examination. This is a necessary albeit uncomfortable procedure for women. Now, however, every woman can look forward to a new, non-invasive procedure that will complement the current use of mammography for early cancer detection. The ICI 7320 P series camera gathers infrared energy, emitted by the human body, to detect temperature changes on the surface of the skin. Increased blood flow and growing cancerous tissue produces more heat than non-cancerous tissue making areas of concern evident to the physician as the ICI 7320 P series has the ability to see heat and measure temperature to one hundredth of a degree.
“In its class, the ICI 7320 P series is the most sensitive camera in the world”, says Gary Strahan, the CEO of Infrared Cameras Inc., producer of the camera. “This infrared camera and software system was designed specifically to image and measure temperature on the human body. This benefits women by giving their doctors a new tool offering a comfortable, non-invasive procedure that works right alongside mammography. Some forms of breast cancer form blood vessels near the surface of the skin to feed cancerous tissue and this is where our ICI 7320 P series camera excels to locate potential problem areas for the patient. We are helping in the fight against breast cancer by offering a system that may detect what a mammogram may not.
Infrared Cameras Inc. builds both handheld and stationary cameras for a number of applications and began developing a medical infrared camera nearly 3 years ago. Increasing worldwide demand for thermal imaging systems has helped provide lower cost components and in effect helped Infrared Cameras Inc. bring medical infrared imaging to the forefront in this new, advanced field of medical research and testing. Very few physicians know how to interpret a thermal image of the human body and Infrared Cameras Inc. is now working with several leading doctors and researchers to explore new diagnostic possibilities with the ICI 7320 P series infrared camera.
The ICI 7320 P series camera has FDA clearance and is available directly through Infrared Cameras Inc. and its distributors worldwide. The main office of Infrared Cameras Inc. is located at 2105 West Cardinal Drive, Beaumont, Texas, 77705. For more information please call (U.S.) 866-861-0788, (International) 409-861-0788.
