AI BASED BREAST SCREENINGS Thermalytix screening is a very privacy aware test where no-one sees you or touches you during the test. Please watch the following videos for an introduction to the screening test. Patient experience video Guidelines for Breast Health Screening.

AI BASED BREAST SCREENINGS is the pioneer of a patented technology called Thermalytix© which is a novel fusion of Artificial Intelligence and Breast Thermal Scans. AI BASED BREAST SCREENINGS early stage breast cancer screening solution is a non-contact, non-invasive, portable, safe, automated solution that works for women of all ages. The novel AI and ML algorithms for the analysis of thermal images have resulted in Eleven granted US patents and many more patent applications.

Yes, Thermalytix is different from Thermography. Thermography is visual analysis of thermal images, while Thermalytix uses sophisticated computer-aided analysis using artificial intelligence for accurate analysis of thermal maps. Thermography is an old technique that has been in practice by some medical professionals around the world for analyzing thermal images. It is recommended as an adjunct modality to detect early-stage breast cancer. However, manual analysis of thermal images requires highly trained skilled professionals and often results in many false positives. AI BASED BREAST SCREENINGS Thermalytix solution fixes this accuracy issue using machine intelligence and provides an automated method of quantifying thermal scans, enabling screening for early-stage breast cancer and other breast abnormalities. AI BASED BREAST SCREENINGS Thermalytix has much higher accuracy than Thermography.

There are some important considerations showing why the AI BASED BREAST SCREENINGS solution is not the same as Thermography, and those differences are detailed below:

1. AI BASED BREAST SCREENINGS Thermalytix© is different from Thermography. Though the sensing equipment used by Thermalytix is an Infrared/Thermal Camera, similar to the one used by Thermographers, Thermalytix is based on analysis of temperature maps, whereas thermography analyzes thermal images.

2. AI BASED BREAST SCREENINGS Thermalytix Solution uses a unique AI-enabled software that gives an objective assessment of the thermal analysis, which is missing in thermography. Additionally, demography data about the patient as well as a novel vascularity analysis is performed. So, we should treat Thermalytix as a new solution for detecting breast abnormalities.

3. Thermography clinics provide a report based on the visual analysis of thermal images. Thermal images are very complex, with about 400,000 temperature points shown as color pixels, where each pixel can be any of the 2000 colors. Analyzing and interpreting these thermal images with just visual inspection is a huge cognitive overload for even an experienced thermographer. So, the manual diagnosis used in Thermography is error-prone and hence the FDA guidance of using thermography as an adjunct to existing methodologies. However, AI BASED BREAST SCREENINGS Thermalytix is not Thermography.

4. Thermography clinics are also NOT able to provide any report with one sitting of the patient. They usually ask the patient to come back in 3 months and do a visual inspection of 2 different sets of images taken 3 months apart. This results in potentially missing a case that was evident in the first sitting and delaying the identification of malignancy for the patient. AI BASED BREAST SCREENINGS solution is able to analyze the thermal images for every screening instance and provide a quantitative report.

5. AI BASED BREAST SCREENINGS solution is based on machine learning models that have the ability to analyze all the 400,000 color points both in the imaging domain as well as the temperature domain. A difference of 0.02 deg C is perceived by AI BASED BREAST SCREENINGS software, and hence the analysis is very sensitive, unlike thermography where two different shades of a color are hard to distinguish.

6. AI BASED BREAST SCREENINGS machine learning models are calibrated with historical data labeled with the current standard of care. The way AI BASED BREAST SCREENINGS models were trained was based on labels learned from mammography + sono-mammography + biopsy. It was not trained using reports of thermographers, hence AI BASED BREAST SCREENINGS results are more accurate and better than the current standard of care.

7. AI BASED BREAST SCREENINGS Thermalytix additionally uses patented vascular biomarkers, which are able to detect very deep tumors that are generally missed by thermographers, as there may not be an increase in temperature for the same.

8. In order to make an objective comparison between Thermography and Thermalytix, a clinical trial on 303 patients was conducted in a blinded retrospective analysis. This was peer-reviewed and published in the International Conference on Advances in Breast Cancer Treatments, Kyoto, Japan, April 26-27, 2018. The results of this comparison showed a remarkable improvement in the performance of Thermalytix over Thermography. An increase of 70% was seen in Positive Predictive Value over Thermography, with very high levels of sensitivity and specificity. A copy of the paper that compares results of Thermography and AI BASED BREAST SCREENINGS Thermalytix is available here.

Thermalytix has regulatory clearance in India, Europe, UAE, and Kenya at this time, and usage in these countries does not fall under the purview of the above-mentioned US FDA warning communication. While AI BASED BREAST SCREENINGS has not yet applied for US FDA clearance for Thermalytix, AI BASED BREAST SCREENINGS obtained US FDA clearance for our SMILE-100 tool that has a subset of features of Thermalytix.

AI BASED BREAST SCREENINGS solution is based on Thermography. The AI BASED BREAST SCREENINGS thermal device, which is placed 3 feet in front of the patient, captures 5 thermal images of the region. The AI BASED BREAST SCREENINGS software tool automatically analyzes these images and sends the analysis report that is certified by a Senior Radiologist.

What is the ideal time in a month to go for AI BASED BREAST SCREENINGS/Thermography screening? The ideal time period for a woman is from ovulation to the onset of menstruation.

There is no minimum age for thermographic screening. It doesn’t depend on the age, color, race and density of breast. Any girl post menstruation should be conscious of her breast health.

No. Thermal scanning is a are non-contact, non-invasive and radiation free modality, unlike mammography. Thermal scanners just measures temperature on your skin, there is no harmful radiation exposure too.

Yes. AI BASED BREAST SCREENINGS Thermalytix has received regulatory approval from India, Kenya, UAE, Philippines, and all countries in Europe (CE Mark).

My relative has/had breast cancer. What is the risk of me getting breast cancer? It depends on how closely related you are to the relative. If the relative is a first-degree relative (Parent, Sibling, or Child), you have a higher risk of cancer, and it is recommended to go for frequent screening. If the relative is a second-degree relative, the risk is lower compared to the former.

Early detection is very important to achieve a good cure. We recommend a Thermalytix scan once a year for all females above 25 years. Since Thermalytix provides breast health scores, if your score is all zero, you can repeat it once every 2 years instead.

Things patients should do for perfect Thermography/AI BASED BREAST SCREENINGS screening before the examination:
- Patients suffering from fever can postpone their screening to a future date to avoid inconvenience.
- Alcoholic beverages should not be consumed for twelve hours prior to the test.
- Hot tea or coffee should be avoided for at least one full hour before the examination.
- Aspirins, pain medications, vasodilators, and constrictors should be avoided for 24 hours prior to the test.

While the global guidance advices women above 45 years to take a breast cancer screening test every year, statistics from World Health Organization (WHO) shows that the incidence rates for women below 40 years is also increasing. About 28% of breast cancer deaths are under 45 year. This would worsen in future due to stress, changes in lifestyle and increase in pollution. So, we recommend all women above 25 years to undergo breast screening using radiation-free Thermalytix test at least once. Based on the scoring, we give personalized recommendation on when you need to repeat the test.
