What is Thermography?

Thermography is a radiation-free, easy, safe, and non-invasive way to detect, evaluate, and monitor a large number of injuries and conditions. Thermography is said to “fill the gap in clinical diagnosis” by allowing us to look at the body’s physiology and metabolic processes. This is unlike traditional medical tests (such as X-rays, CTs, Ultrasounds, and MRIs) that look at the body’s structure. Thermography is also used as a tool for disease prevention. Many times, thermography can reveal problems before symptoms begin to arise. This allows for the earliest possible treatment, overall improving patient outcomes.

How Does it Work?

Thermography is a clinical imaging technique that records the thermal patterns of your body. A specialized DITI camera measures the infrared radiation emitted from the skin surface. Measurements are recorded and mapped to create a thermogram (thermal map of the body). Normally, the body’s temperature is symmetrical; however, various injuries and pathologies cause dilation of blood vessels, angiogenesis, and/or other sympathetic nervous system involvements. This results in temperature differences that can be mapped via thermography. Medical Doctors trained in thermography use precise temperature readings to detect or monitor different conditions in the body.

Who is Thermography For?

01

Genders: Men & Women

While most view thermography as only for women, thermography is a great option for both genders!

02

Ages: 23+

Scanning prior to age 21 is generally avoided due to the vast physiological changes that occur normally in younger individuals. Typically age 23 and beyond is best for establishing breast baselines.

03

Seeking: Prevention or Answers

Whether you are seeking ways to be proactive about your health or you are actively seeking for answers to your health concerns, thermography is a great option for all!
