¿What is Thermography?

The Thermography is a high-tech health screening tool (a high-definition infrared camera) that creates a digital map of your body and temperature patterns – these patterns may show abnormalities that can be indicative of inflammation (or abnormal heat spots on the body). There are over 900 articles about medical thermography

Remember that inflammation is the first sign of degenerative diseases and other chronic health conditions. Early detection of this inflammation may help to prevent those health conditions from even developing in the first place.

​¿How to Prepare for your Thermography study?

These restrictions are advised to prevent overheating of the body and to limit increased blood flow and circulation to areas of concern.

  • Keep skin stimulation to a minimum prior to your scan to obtain the most accurate information.
  • Wear loose clothing

To Avoid 24 hours before:
 
  • Prolonged sun exposure or tanning booth. Sunburn would preclude the exam.
  • No massage, chiropractic adjustments, acupuncture.
  • No exercise or strenuous physical activity.
  • Do not stimulate the skin by rubbing with lotions, shaving or applying roll-on or stick deodorants. Spray deodorants are acceptable.

Two hours before your scan:
  • Do not eat, do not smoke, do not wear heavy jewelry. (you can drink water )
 
Four hours before your scan:
 
  • If you are using anti-inflammatory medications, please do your best to avoid taking these drugs before your examination: Aspirin, Advil, Aleve and Ibuprofen.
 
You are welcome to bring a companion or partner to be present at the examination.

¿How long does it take?

30 minutes for breast study or 60 minutes for full body thermography

The study is carried out by a Female Thermographer for Ladies and a Male Thermographer for Gentlemen for greater comfort.

About the exam and results

There is no contact, no radiation and no contrast agents are used.  The room temperature will be cool and you will be seated or standing in front of the thermal camera for imaging.
 
During the process, to get the images right, you will be using only underwear.
 
The thermographer will use a special camera to take images and obtain the appropriate views to submit to our Doctors, whom will interpret them and write a comprehensive report that will be send to you by email
The study is divided into 2 parts:

1.- Clinical Questionnaire. Where we will know your health history.
2.- Obtaining images. The examinee DOES NOT touch any device or is entered into any device. Thermography does not require physical contact.

The information obtained will reach our laboratory where one of our Doctors will take care of your case.
Results Report

One of our Doctors will prepare a Report where he will record the interpretation of the images and the corresponding Recommendations.

The Results Report will be sent to your email, in no more than 3 days for Breast Thermography and no more than 7 days for your Full Body Study.
