In reviewing 15 large-scale studies from 1967 to 1998, Infrared Mammography has an average sensitivity (proportion of actual positives that are correctly identified as such) and specificity (the proportion of negatives that are correctly identified) of 90%.

A persistent abnormal Infrared Mammogram carries with it a 22x higher risk of future Breast Cancer.

An abnormal Infrared Mammogram is ten times more significant as a future risk indicator for Breast Cancer than a first-degree family (parent, sibling, or offspring) incidence of the disease.

Research has shown that early detection with Infrared Mammography significantly augments the long-term survival rates of its recipients by as much as 61%.

Infrared Mammography has the ability to identify the earliest signs of cancer formation, up to ten years before any other imaging modality can identify it.
