Whole Body Regulation Thermometry and Breast Health
Maintaining breast health involves understanding both the structure and function of breast tissue.Mammography, breast ultrasound, and breast MRI evaluate the anatomy of the breast, while Whole Body Regulation Thermometry provides additional clinical information about the body’s regulatory responses associated with women’s breast health. Because these technologies provide different types of clinical information, they may complement one another as part of a comprehensive breast health evaluation.
Whole Body Regulation Thermometry is a non-invasive physiologic assessment that is interpreted together with your Health History, Physical Examination, Comprehensive Laboratory Evaluation, Diagnostic Imaging, and other clinical findings. Looking at these findings together provides a more complete understanding of your health and helps us develop recommendations based on your individual health care needs and goals.
How We Use Whole Body Regulation Thermometry
Whole Body Regulation Thermometry complements traditional Diagnostic Imaging by evaluating functional physiologic information rather than anatomical structures. As part of a comprehensive Integrative Medicine evaluation, it may provide additional clinical information that helps us better understand patterns of physiologic regulation and determine whether additional evaluation may be appropriate.
Depending on your Health History and clinical findings, Whole Body Regulation Thermometry may provide additional clinical information related to:
- Women’s Breast Health
- Hormone Balance
- Autonomic Nervous System Regulation
- Inflammatory Responses
- Patterns of Physiologic Regulation
When appropriate, additional Comprehensive Laboratory Evaluation, Diagnostic Imaging, or referral may be recommended based on your overall clinical findings.
Monitoring Breast Health Over Time
Many women choose to establish a baseline Whole Body Regulation Thermometry assessment so changes in patterns of physiologic regulation can be monitored over time. Comparing studies may provide additional clinical information about changes in regulatory responses and your response to treatment recommendations throughout your care.
At Integrative Medical Specialists, Whole Body Regulation Thermometry is integrated with your Health History, Physical Examination, Comprehensive Laboratory Evaluation, Diagnostic Imaging, and other clinical findings to provide additional clinical information about your health. Looking at all of this information together helps us better understand your health and develop recommendations based on your individual health care needs and goals.
