BREAST IMAGING
Thermography uses a heat detecting camera to detect the subtle physiologic (functional) changes that accompany breast pathology, whether it is cancer, fibrocystic disease, an infection, or a vascular disease.
VASCULAR, HEART, & STROKE PREVENTION
Imaging of vascular issues and unexplained pain can help pinpoint the origin of the issue. This can help the surgeon to treat the problem with minimal intervention due to the accuracy of the localization. As a tool for stroke prevention, thermography can help indicate inflammation developing in the carotid arteries which can lead to stroke and heart disease.
PAIN & INJURIES
Stress fractures, TMJ, Fibromyalgia, Nerve Dysfunction…
Thermography can help to visualize the pain when other tests fail to find the cause.
FULL BODY THERMOGRAPHY
Full body imaging may provide you with new health information and/or help confirm illnesses you may be dealing with. It's an excellent first screening step that may help you decide if further investigation or treatments may be warranted.
And so much more. Thermography can be uses to assess and track:
Back Injuries
Arthritis
Headaches
Nerve Damage
Unexplained Pain
Dental and TMJ
Vascular Disease
Breast Disease
Inflammatory Pain
Referred Pain Syndrome
Sprains / Strains
Digestive Disorders
Fibrocystic Activity
and more!

WHO CAN BENEFIT FROM BREAST THERMOGRAPHY?
All Women
Fibrocystic
Dense Breasts
Implants
Mastectomy
Reconstruction
Young Women
and more...
ALL WOMEN can benefit from thermography. It can be especially appropriate for younger women whose denser breast tissue can make it more difficult for mammography to be effective. Also for women of all ages who, for many reasons, are unable to undergo routine mammography.
It takes years for a tumor to grow thus the earliest possible indication of abnormality is needed to allow for the earliest possible treatment and intervention.
IS THERMOGRAPHY THE SAME AS A MAMMOGRAM?
Breast thermography is not a replacement or alternative for mammography or any other form of breast imaging. Breast thermography is meant to be used in addition to mammography and other tests. Breast thermography and mammography are complementary procedures, one does not replace the other. All thermography reports are meant to identify thermal emissions that suggest potential risk markers only and do not in any way suggest diagnosis and/or treatment. No breast screening is 100% accurate.

I DON’T WANT UNNECESSARY EXPOSURE TO RADIATION
Thermography does not use any radiation. It only involves taking a picture of the heat that you are naturally producing.
HOW CAN A PICTURE DETECT ANYTHING?
This “picture” is taken with a very hi-tech camera that detects minute changes in temperature patterns. The data collected is then evaluated by medical doctors with expertise in thermography.
WHAT HAPPENS DURING AN APPOINTMENT?
During your first appointment you will spend time talking through your symptoms and concerns…….
WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?
Wear something that is comfortable, and that is easy to move or remove. Your practitioner may need to access your neck, shoulders, back, abdomen, or other body areas. Tank tops, loose t-shirts, and athletic shorts make appointments easy. We have have gowns, sheets, and drapes if you need to undress.
HOW OFTEN DO I NEED TO COME BACK?
FOR BREAST IMAGING
You will come back 3 months after your initial appointment to establish a baseline.
Then we recommend you return annually.
FOR OTHER IMAGING
It varies based on the type of imaging. Your thermography technician will guide you.
