By
imaging physiology rather than structure,
infrared imaging looks at how the body
is functioning.
The
whole procedure takes about 1/2 hour for
a breast or 1 hour for a full-body exam.
You will be mailed a complete written
report. Copies may also be sent to your
health care providers at your request.
What
Makes Infrared Imaging Different From
Other Tests?
The
greatest difference lies in the type of
information you get from different forms
of imaging. For example, CT, MRI and EBT
excel at looking for tumors in the body.
If no tumor is found, does this mean you
are in good health? The vast majority
of health problems that affect us, and
decrease our life span, do not come in
the form of tumors. Many health problems
that slowly evolve and rob you of your
quality of life cannot be detected by
CT, MRI or EBT. Infrared imaging provides
a different way of examining the body.
Who
Benefits From a Full Body Scan?
Everyone,
especially health conscious patients who
prefer to head off possible health problems
before it's too late. Infrared imaging
may also give your doctor the information
you need to get nearer the cause of a
current problem that is not responding
well to treatment. By providing an extremely
early warning, or notifying you of a current
problem that is going undetected, infrared
body scanning has the ability to help
you in preventing health problems that
stop you from enjoying life.
It
can take many years for a condition to
develop. Medical infrared thermography
may be able to warn you of a problem years
in advance of other tests.
Early
Detection for Your Family
Infrared
imaging aids in the early detection and
prevention of disease. Your doctor may
use this procedure as part of your yearly
physical exam or to investigate a problem
you may be experiencing. If your doctor
is not currently using infrared imaging,
you are free to call for an appointment
without a referral. Infrared imaging may
be exactly what the doctor
ordered when it comes
to watching your health over time or determining
the cause of a current problem.
