Biggest Difference between thermography and mammography: function vs structure.

Thermography: visualizing body in performance mode; looking for heat coming off body unusually; detecting the possibility of cancer now or in future.

Mammography: looks at make up of breast; looks for calcium deposits & density changes; detecting cancer already present.

Thermography

Thermography can detect abnormalities from 8 to 10 years before mammography can detect a mass.
