Laser technology is not that far removed from mammography. In both cases they will be able to detect abnormal tissue but they are not able to determine if it is cancerous without a biopsy. And gentlemen biopsies are not all that pleasant. 80% to 85% of the suspect tissues from a mammogram are not cancerous. The laser will do the same thing in identifying tissue with possibly some improvement in the false positive. Identifying abnormal tissue alone will not tell you if it is cancerous.

One of the main reasons that we are interested in CTI is that malignant tissue has an increased blood flow and thereby generates increased heat that can be picked up by it's thermal signature. This entire process will decrease the biopsy rate significantly and focus on malignant tissue and away from tissue that maybe abnormal but is in fact benign. This focus on the thermal signature is what puts CTI ahead of Laser,X-ray,MRI, Mammography and Cat Scans.
