I have heard that thermography (using heat) is a healthier way to screen. Is there any truth to this?

@user_ch3a1e07f I hope you were able to listen to the broadcast live. Your question was asked. To hear the answer start listening at minute 27:00
Dr. Pizzitola responds: Thermography has been studied for a very long time but has not been found to be beneficial for patients in the screening setting. It has not decreased mortality. Thermography is not used at any of the Mayo Clinic campuses.
