Thermography Defined
Thermography is a form of medical imaging
capable of obtaining detailed infrared images of the human body. We are now in the
age of incredible, detailed, digital imaging and high resolution, which enables
thermography to shine. It is an accurate means (approved by the FDA) of providing you with
information of a preventative nature. It evaluates tissue function and physiology looking
for thermal (heat) abnormalities. Medical infrared imaging is used to evaluate whole body
health issues and has the added advantage of being able to alert women of breast
abnormalities up to 10 years before they manifest. See "Conditions Detected with
Infrared Full Body Scanning" and "Hypothyroidism".

Conditions Detected with
Infrared Full Body Scanning
The key to maintaining your health is
prevention. It is far easier to care for the first indications that something is wrong
than to try and fix a problem that has caused significant damage.
Many patients are also confused with regard to their condition. For example, patients with
chronic pain who have had treatment with little or no relief may have been treated for the
wrong condition. Infrared imaging has helped many patients get to the cause of their
condition so that proper treatment can be rendered.
The following list is just some of the conditions that infrared full body scanning can
detect. In many cases, infrared imaging can detect an early warning years before symptoms
occur.

Hypothyroidism:
Millions of Americans have undiagnosed hypothyroidism
- Hypothyroidism may also be a risk factor for breast cancer -
If you have some of the following symptoms
you may have hypothyroidism:
Fatigue/sluggishness Weight gain
Increased sensitivity to cold
Constipation
Muscle aches, tenderness and stiffness
Pain, stiffness or swelling in your joints . Depression
Pale, dry skin . A puffy face . Hoarse voice
Elevated blood cholesterol levels
Muscle weakness
Heavier than normal menstrual periods
Thermography may be the test that leads to a solution
