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.
