  10. RTM – 01 – RESImaging System

  11. RTM - Diagnosis The efficacy of the method is confirmed by clinical trials, which were carried out among more then 3500 patients

  12. Breast Temperature Field Results of the measurements can be displayed in different modes

  13. RTM-Diagnosis Software Data of the measured temperatures are automatically stored in the computers memory to be processed.

  14. Breast Temperature Field Isotherm step Right MG Left MG Temperature(ºC): Minimum 32.8, Mean 33.8, Maximum 35.3 • The green color represents the average temperature field of an examined organ

  15. Breast Temperature Field Isotherm step Right MG Left MG Temperature(ºC): Minimum 32.8, Mean 33.8, Maximum 35.3 The red color represents a high temperature field of an examined organ

  16. Breast Temperature Field Isotherm step Right MG Left MG Temperature(ºC): Minimum 32.8, Mean 33.8, Maximum 35.3 • The blue color represents a lower than average normal temperature

  17. Healthy Woman’s Field Isotherm step Right MG Left MG Temperature(ºC): Minimum 34.8, Mean 35.1, Maximum 35.4 Example: This is the temperature field of a healthy woman’s breasts.

  18. Breast Temperature Field Isotherm step Right MG Left MG Temperature(ºC): Minimum 32.8, Mean 33.8, Maximum 35.3 Many diseases (such as cancer) are represented by high temperature areas in the internal temperature field.

  20. Thermogram Thermogram - Diagnosis Conventional signs right Mg left Mg base point T1 base point T1 Series 1 Series 2 Series 3 Show all series Print… Help Close The results of the measurements may also be displayed as a thermogram. The fourth and the fifth points on the left breast are marked.

  22. Patient B. (before treatment). Patient B. (after treatment). Right Breast Left Breast Right Breast Left Breast • The RTM-01-RES is indispensable for the monitoring of treatment due to the fact that it is absolutely harmless. • This is a sample of the positive dynamics which occur during the treatment of mastitis.

  23. During oncological processes thermal changes precede anatomical changes. The diagnostic method has a unique ability to detect cancer diseases at early stages, when the traditional methods can not detect diseases, which have just appeared. Patient K., 57 years old Clinical diagnosis - both breasts have diffuse fibrocystic mastopathy, node neoplasm is not detected. X-ray - fibrocystic mastopathy with fibrous features. Puncture - erythrocytes, fat drops.

  24. Clinical Trials Results Number of Patients – 81 CancerPatients – 48 (60%) Number of Patients – 43 CancerPatients – 35 (76%) Number of Patients – 771 CancerPatients – 101 (13%) Number of Patients – 81 CancerPatients – 48 (60%)
