note: |

During
the examination you will disrobe from the waist up for both imaging
and to allow for the surface temperature of the body to equilibrate
with the room. A female technician will take your images.
Surgical
procedures such as implants, reductions, and biopsies do not interfere
with infrared imaging. Breast infrared imaging is perfectly safe to
have during pregnancy or when nursing.
