FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - Bellamente Enterprises Inc., producers of the International Anti-Aging Show are proud to welcome the Thermography Clinic and Dr. Alexander Mostovoy as co-sponsors of this year’s Ask The Expert section at the show.
The Thermography Clinic is dedicated to bringing the most advanced Breast and Full Body Thermographic Imaging to patients across North America.
With Breast Cancer being the second leading cause of death in women, early detection is important, but prevention is the key. The advantage of an early assessment of risk factors could be life-saving and Breast Thermography is one of the best early warning systems available today.
Breast Thermography is a breakthrough imaging procedure where infrared images of the breast are analyzed and rated to determine the risk of developing breast cancer. The technology can detect abnormal cell activity in the breasts 5 - 10 years prior to a mass being detected by a mammogram or physical exam.
Thermography is non-invasive, safe and painless – no radiation or compression is used. The infrared imaging process allows you to see the range and amount of heat or thermal energy emitted from the body. Structural tests, such as mammograms and ultrasound rely on finding physical lesions (anatomy), while breast thermography detects asymmetrical blood vessel circulation (physiology) within the breast.
Thermography is based on the premise that before the growth of abnormal cells is possible, a constant blood supply must be circulated to the growth area. Thermography measures the heat generated by the microcirculation of blood in the breast during this process.
Breast thermography has been researched for over 30 years, and over 800 peer-reviewed breast thermography studies exist in the index-medicus. In this data base well over 250,000 women have been included as study participants. Some of these studies have followed patients up to 12 years. Breast thermography has an average sensitivity and specificity of 90%.
Studies show that:· An abnormal infrared image is the single-most important marker of high risk for developing breast cancer.· A persistent abnormal thermogram carries with it a 22 times higher risk of future breast cancer.· When thermography is added to a woman’s regular breast health checkup, a 61% increase in survival rate has been realized.· Finally, when used as part of a multimodal approach (clinical examination + mammography + thermography), 95% of early-stage cancers will be detected.“We are excited to be part of the International Anti-Aging Show,” says Dr. Mostovoy, a Board Certified Clinical Thermographer and Clinical Director of the
Thermography Clinic. “Breast Thermography is an imaging process which finds circulatory changes in the breasts which ultimately could lead to the detection of the disease. “ Dr. Mostovoy will be holding a one hour seminar each day to explain the technology behind thermography and breast health at the Ask the Experts booth, located on the floor of the show. In addition imaging sessions will be offered to a limited number of show visitors at a reduced rate of only $195.00.
The International Anti-Aging Show (IAAS) is the only show of its kind in Canada, 100% dedicated to the anti-aging industry targeting men and women 35 to 54 years of age who want to look better and feel healthier. It features over 100 exhibitors and sponsors highlighting the latest in the world of anti-aging. Free seminars are in abundance and presented by some of
North America’s leading cosmetic doctors, dermatologists, naturopaths, md’s, health and wellness professionals, beauty and fashion experts and more. The IAAS opens it’s doors March 7-8-9, 2008 at the International Centre, Hall 5, 6900 Airport Road in Mississauga. Admission is $12.00 for a one day pass or $15.00 for a weekend pass.
