Half Body Scan
The half body scan is our most popular scan. Many women choose to upgrade to this scan as a part of their yearly breast assessment. It is typically performed on the upper half of the body, and includes the head, neck, breasts, stomach, back, arms, and hands. This scan provides a wealth of information that can help you target the root cause of many issues.
The upper half body will screen for indications of:
- Cranial Inflammation (headaches, sinuses, TMJ, etc)
- Dental inflammation/infection
- Stroke risk and carotid artery inflammation/occlusion
- Thyroid dysfunction
- Cardiovascular disease
- Circulatory issues
- Breast disease
- Lymphatic congestion
- Hormonal imbalance
- Organ Inflammation (stomach, intestines, kidneys, colon, uterus, etc)
- Autoimmunity
- Herniated discs
- Trigger points
- Nerve dysfunction
- Varicose veins
- Pre-diabetes
- Arthritis
- Carpal Tunnel
- Sprains/strains
- Skin abnormalities
- Pain
- Generalized inflammation
- ... and more!

You may opt to have a half or full body scan in place of your annual breast screen. A 90-day breast screening follow-up is still required to complete your baseline after your initial exam. For details about the complete breast package, see breast thermography.
Preparing for your Half Body Thermogram
- 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 hot or cold showering. Do not shave under your arms or use deodorant, skin creams or lotion in the areas to be imaged.
- MEN: to best view the dental and thyroid area, it is best if facial hair is removed. Avoid doing this just before your scan.
- 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.
Note: you must wait 3 months after pregnancy, nursing, major breast surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation before having a breast scan, and at least 1 month after a biopsy or minor surgery, such as mole removal, for results to be accurate.
