Medical Infared Thermal Imaging

Service Description

Although this information is of particular interest to you if you’re a woman, men will also find it extremely helpful. There’s a new high-tech tool that specifically measures skin surface temperature which may indicate an inflammatory process. It’s called thermal imaging, or thermography. In a nutshell, this tool creates a digital map of your body that illustrates heat patterns — patterns that may detect the inflammation connected to some condition or abnormality. It uses a scanning-type infrared camera that measures your body surface temperature, presenting the information as a digitized image. These thermal images (called thermograms) are analyzed for abnormalities that may be signs of disease-causing inflammation in your body. Additionally, since your body is thermally symmetrical if normal, thermal asymmetries can indicate problems. Thermograms provide: Precise and objective data from accurate measurements of thermal information… Considerable financial savings over conventional investigations… It must be stated that they are not stand alone screenings, they are an FDA cleared adjuct to mammography. And unlike most diagnostic tests, thermal imaging is: Not painful… Non-invasive… Quick – your multi-image exams usually takes less than 30 minutes… Plus, it: Makes no contact with your body — with no body part compression (such as what you experience with mammograms) Emits absolutely NO radiation Remember, it is not a replacement for a mammogram!
