PORTLAND, Ore., Sept. 26 /PRNewswire/ -- BreastHealthNetwork.com, a new web portal with a comprehensive Internet search engine dedicated solely to the topic of breast health and breast cancer, will launch October 1, the first day of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The site will specialize in providing a ``door'' to more than 500 breast health web sites, making the search for breast health information on the Internet easier, faster and more productive for women and their families. BreastHealthNetwork.com will combine a dedicated search engine, news tracking service, and web site links related only to breast health and breast cancer. ``BreastHealthNetwork.com takes the time and aggravation out of navigating the information clutter that turns up through traditional search engines and sites,'' said John Ott, senior vice president of Computerized Thermal Imaging, Inc., the site's sponsor. ``BreastHealthNetwork.com offers a valuable resource to help point women and their families in the right direction for credible and comprehensive breast health and breast cancer information.'' Because of the sheer volume of the Web, finding breast health information is like the proverbial needle in the haystack, said Ott. A recent PC Magazine article reported that researchers now estimate the number of public Web sites at 1.5 billion pages, with only one page in six being picked up by popular search engines. Unlike traditional search engines, all of the search results that appear in response to a key word search on BreastHealthNetwork.com will relate to breast health or breast cancer. In addition to the search capability, the site will feature a link to a ``Breast Health Site of the Week'' with a guide to the resources found on that site. Visitors to BreastHealthNetwork.com also will be invited to comment on featured sites and share their thoughts. The Breast Health Network(TM) is sponsored by Computerized Thermal Imaging, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: COII - news), a developer of computerized thermal imaging technology. CTI is currently seeking FDA approval for its computerized thermal breast imaging system to be used as an adjunct to mammography to assist physicians in detecting breast cancer.
