Digital Infrared Thermography

Digital Infrared Thermographic Imaging (or Thermography) is a non-invasive test that uses an infrared camera to detect and measure abnormal thermal changes in the body. In general, problem areas show high tissue temperatures due to increased blood flow and increased metabolic activity. Thermal changes can often be the earliest sign of vascular disease, immune dysfunction, and systemic inflammation. Recording these thermal patterns can aid in diagnosing and/or monitoring inflammation, pain, or illness in any part of the body, and can help provide warning signs to areas of concern whether or not you are experiencing symptoms.

Thermography tests your body’s physiology, in comparison to other tests (X-ray, mammograms, ultrasound, MRI) which test the structure or anatomy of your body. The scan is non-invasive, produces no radiation, is economical, and is medically approved technology.
