Does Mayo in Scottsdale have the new non ionizing detection of breast cancer that consists of the patient lying down on a table that has an opening for the breast to hang down into? Once there, the imager takes thermographic photos of the tissue to identify the areas that are warmer than others. The accuracy is suppose to be higher than conventional mammograms whether 3D or otherwise.

No. This is a detection of thermal or (higher temperature) tissue inside the breast tissue, similar to thermal photography. It is the cutting edge in breast cancer detection and is conventional medical science, not alternative medicine. I will research it and give references when I have the time. Thank you for your inquiry.

There is an article in Science Direct vol 27, 1 january 2022, 101142. But that is not what I originally read. I will have to try to remember the publication that I read it in. The article said that they had improved its accuracy, perhaps using AI. I will re-post once I locate the original article. Thanks.
