CAROLINA THERMASCAN

Carolina Thermascan was founded in 2003 by Lewis Stocks, M.D., Ph.D., a noted breast surgeon in Raleigh, NC, following his years of frustration from performing mastectomies on women whose cancer had been missed by traditional radiographic mammography. Dr. Stocks was familiar with thermography, having been a doctoral student at Duke University in the 1970's when research comparing these screening studies concluded that thermography was not as reliable as mammography. This was done, however, at a time when infrared camera and computer software technology were very primitive with subsequent studies refuting these findings.
