About Full Body Scans

Our Full‑Body Thermography scan is a popular choice for anyone wanting a comprehensive, preventive look at their overall health. Both men and women choose this scan annually to monitor physiological changes throughout the entire body. This scan images from the top of the head to the bottom of the feet and includes the full breast series, offering a complete view of thermal patterns that may reveal inflammation, congestion, or early functional shifts. A full‑body scan can help identify the root causes of many symptoms or provide early warning signs of potential issues. Please note: thermography cannot be used to assess the brain, prostate, or testes.

There is no touching, no compression, and no discomfort. All scans at Mend are performed by a female certified clinical thermographer in a calm, private environment.

Preparing for your Full Body Scan

For 24 hours prior to your scan – avoid heavy exercise, acupuncture, massage, sauna or steam rooms.
For 2 hours prior to your scan – avoid exercise and very hot or cold showering. Do not shave under your arms or use deodorant, skin creams or lotion in the areas to be imaged. Avoid sun exposure the day of the test. For best result, you should not have had a sun burn or have used a tanning booth within a week of your test.
Please wear loose fitting clothing the day of your scan. Your scan will be delayed until irritation marks from tight fitting clothing have dissipated.
No changes in diet or medication are necessary.

What to Expect During Your Scan

Your appointment will take approximately 60 minutes.
You will be asked to remove all clothing and jewelry. We will supply you with a lightweight cover to wear for privacy while you acclimate to the room’s temperature.
Prior to your scan, we will review your intake form with you. Please be sure to inform us of any recent skin lesions on your breasts that may affect the results.
Thermal images of the breasts and surrounding areas will then be taken.
Following your scan, we will review your images with you and answer any questions you may have.
Your scans will be sent to a physician for interpretation. Reports are normally back within 3 business days.

Have questions about Full body scans?

Thermography scans are not recommended until after age 23 to ensure your bone plates are fully closed and your breast patterns are fully developed. We recommended yearly thermograms beginning by age 30.

Each individual has a different thermographic pattern (‘thermal fingerprint’); therefore, It is very important to establish your baseline. Your first thermogram is considered your baseline. Cancer cells typically double after 90 days, so your 3-month follow-up looks for any thermal changes from your baseline that may indicate a developing breast disease. If you do not establish a baseline, we have no idea if your thermal pattern is normal or changing at the time of your first exam.

This is 100% up to you depending on your goals. Full body scans provide more information about your overall health than breast scans alone, so it is an easy upgrade to perform yearly.

A full body scan includes all images from a half body scan and includes upper and lower extremities, so will provide more information but it does have a higher pricepoint. A full body scan will be your best overall prevention scan – it may be worth getting at least one baseline full body scan and then continuing with half or full body scans as desired in the future. But really, you can’t choose wrong!

Yes! Thermography is great for individuals with implants. You can easily be scanned without any risk of rupturing the implants, and as a bonus, thermography may evaluate the integrity of your implants!

Thermography is safe during pregnancy and directly following; however, due to the change in hormones during pregnancy/breastfeeding, breast scans are likely to show changes. It is best to have a breast scan at least 3 months after stopping lactation/breast feeding. Other areas of the body CAN be scanned safely.

Due to trauma to tissues, it is recommended to wait at least 3 months after surgery. Following a biopsy, please wait 1 month.
