What Are The Benefits Of Thermography?
You may wonder if thermography could benefit your unique situation. The great news is everyone can benefit from thermography, especially the health conscious person who is looking for an important tool to add to their regular preventive health care routine.
Unlike other forms of imaging that detect structural changes, such as a tumor, infrared imaging looks at the body's subtle chemical and nervous system signals. These neurochemical signals may be sent far in advance of significant damage to the body's soft tissue.
Another benefit of this technology is its role in primary breast tissue health. Breast thermography has the added ability to observe the influence of hormones on the breasts. When hormone activity in the breast tissue is dominated by estrogen, a specific type of infrared image is produced; thus, warning the individual of this condition.
Your health care provider may use infrared imaging to investigate a problem you may be experiencing, look for potential problems (ex: sports injury management), or as an additional tool in the process of determining the cause of a condition.
However, you are free to make an appointment without the need for a referral. We will be glad to supply your health care provider with a complete report.
Infrared imaging cannot be used as a "body scan" to search for metastasis (the spread of cancer). Infrared imaging is an additional procedure that you or your health care provider may use along with other tests to evaluate your health. Only your physician can provide you with a diagnosis.

The capture of the following infrared images is included in the adjunctive Breast Thermography screening: Bilateral Breast, Right Oblique Breast, Left Oblique Breast, Right Breast Close Up, Left Breast Close Up and areas of concern. The expected appointment length for this service is 30 minutes.
