What is Thermography?
Thermography is a non-invasive clinical imaging procedure for detecting and monitoring a number of diseases and physical injuries, by showing the thermal abnormalities present in the body. Thermography also provides a visual for inflammation in the body.

What are the uses?
Thermography is great for identifying dysfunction and inflammation in the body. Currently there are two types of thermography scans offered: half body scans and full body scans. Both scans include the breasts and your 90 day baseline scan. The scans are pain free, fast, radiation free and non-invasive.

What are the scans offered?

Full Body: A full body thermography scan may provide your primary care physician with useful information about dysfunctions in the body such as:

• Chronic Pain
• Chronic Fatigue 
• Lymph Congestion
• Digestives Issues
• Thyroid, Adrenal Gland Dysfunction

Breast Scan: Breast thermography is a 15 minute non invasive test of physiology. It is a valuable procedure for alerting your doctor to changes that may indicate early signs of complication in the breast.

• ​Thermography must be paired with ultrasound and does not replace mammography

Here is what to expect when getting a Thermogram:

Step 1: You will be placed in a temperature-controlled room to allow your body to regulate to normal core temperatures. During that time, you’ll be asked to complete some simple paperwork, including a health survey.

Step 2: You will be positioned in front of a Thermal Imaging Camera, and from there the technician will take digital images. This relatively short process can take anywhere between 5-15 minutes. You will be able to see yourself “live” on the computer screen, which would allow for a better personal understanding of your body.

Step 3: Your pictures are sent out to a certified physician for analysis of 1) the amount of heat and 2) the symmetry of the heat patterns. Heat patterns may indicate inflammation, infection, or a variance from your body’s norm.

Step 4: You’ll receive a report with your images within 24-72 hours thereafter via email. This will help you and your primary care physician determine any next steps. We also provide recommendations for ways to reduce inflammation (if present) and provide personal health and wellness coaching programs if desired.

​Step 5: We recommend you return for thermograms annually to monitor your health and watch for changes. However, everyone’s thermal pattern is unique and the best way to detect cellular change is to establish a baseline*. 

*A baseline scan is used to further the accuracy of your thermal pattern depiction. This second scan shows us if there are any signs of cellular change. In order to establish a baseline, it’s necessary to return after 90 days for a second scan. Then changes can be monitored yearly.
