Thermography measures the infrared radiation (heat) which emits from the surface of the body. Areas of abnormality, pathology, or disease within the body will be observed as either hot or cold, depending on the metabolic activity.
An ultra-sensitive thermal camera and a sophisticated computer are used to convert the infrared heat emitting from the surface of the skin into electrical impulses that are visualized in color, known as a thermogram.
The thermogram is then interpreted by a team of medical doctors known as thermologists, who provide a detailed report of the findings. Thermography technology has been utilized for decades and can detect physiological changes at an early stage.

~ NON-INVASIVE SCREENING ~
A thermography screening assesses the health of the thyroid, oral cavity, breasts, abdomen, and lower body, as well as any other specific areas that may be of concern. Thermography is non-invasive and radiation-free, which makes it a great option for routine health screenings.
Traditional medical screenings such as X-rays, mammograms, ultrasounds, and MRIs focus on disease management, whereas thermography focuses on locating problem areas before they turn into diseases.
Thermography can provide the early detection necessary to implement preventive lifestyle changes with diet, exercise, and stress management.
