In 1956 a Canadian surgeon Dr. Ray Lawson of McGill Medical School in Montreal published the first research paper on breast cancer and thermography.  He noted that the skin temperature of his breast cancer patients was higher compared to healthy patients, and he used modified declassified military scanners to evaluate these temperature differences. Thus a new method and technology became available to the public called Breast Thermography.

 

Recently I was interviewed about thermography and breast health by my friend Dr. Christine Horner, a relentless champion for women's health. In Part 1 of this interview, we spoke about thermography, while in the next segment (Part 2), our discussion revolved more about breast health and cancer prevention.
