Thermography

Thermography is a better way to scan your body and breasts for health! There is no radiation, no pain
and no body contact.

Thermography allows you to see what you may not yet feel.

Thermography allows you to SEE what you may not yet FEEL.

This is early detection and begins the process of prevention.  

WHAT IS THERMOGRAPHY?

Thermography is a physical level assessment.

Thermography is also known as Digital Infrared Thermal Imaging (DITI). ​Clinical Thermography is a simple test of physiology that relies on the sympathetic nerve control of skin blood flow and the ability of the sympathetic nervous system to respond to and react to pain, pathology, injury or dysfunction anywhere in the body. While other diagnostics such as ultrasound, radiography, and mammography show the body’s structure or anatomy, DITI is unique in that it shows physiologic and metabolic processes.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Medical DITI enables the examiner to visualize and quantify changes in skin surface temperature. An infrared scanning device is used to convert infrared radiation emitted from the skin surface into electrical impulses that are visualized in color on a monitor. This visual image graphically maps the body temperature and is referred to as a thermogram. The spectrum of colors indicates an increase or decrease in the amount of infrared radiation being emitted from the body surface. Since there is a high degree of thermal symmetry in the normal body, subtle abnormal temperature asymmetries can be easily identified.

WHAT IS IT USED FOR?

Thermal patterns displayed on the thermogram are as unique as fingerprints. In healthy people there is a symmetrical thermal pattern that is consistent and reproducible for that individual. Injury or disease will result in thermal asymmetries. Our state of the art Flir digital thermal cameras will record these thermal patterns in a thermograph in precise detail with a temperature sensitivity of 0.01°C.

Medical DITI is the only method available to visualize and assess pain and pathology anywhere in the body. Results obtained through thermography are totally objective and show excellent correlation with other diagnostic tests.

Medical DITI is a monitor of thermal abnormalities present in a number of diseases and physical injuries. It is used as an aid for diagnosis and prognosis, as well as therapy follow up and rehabilitation monitoring, within clinical fields that include Rheumatology, Neurology, Physiotherapy, Sports Medicine, Oncology, Pediatrics, Orthopedics and many others.

WHAT CONDITIONS CAN IT DETECT OR MONITOR?

Thermography is used for detecting and monitoring many conditions including:

  • Breast Issues​ (fibrocystic conditions, mastitis, & lymph congestion)​​​
  • Artery Conditions​ (stroke potential or inflammation, for example)​​​
  • Vein Conditions​ (deep vein thrombosis, for example)​​
  • Pain​
  • Pre-Diabetic Screening​
  • Dental/Periodontal ​(even before your dentist can detect)
  • Fibromyalgia
  • Chronic Fatigue
  • Chronic Immune Deficiency​
  • Inflammatory Pain​
  • Carpal Tunnel​
  • Arthritis​
  • Nerve Damage​
  • Sports Injuries
  • And much more!

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE? 

Standard region of interest exams take approximately 15 minutes and a full body scan takes approximately 30 minutes.

THERMOGRAPHY BREAST SCREENING

Be proactive by screening for inflammation, inflammatory breast cancer, DCIS, lymphatic congestion, hormonal imbalances as VERY EARLY detection saves lives AND breasts! This thermal imaging series will  screen for tumors of the breast, inflammatory breast cancer, and lymph node activity under the arms. 

THERMOGRAPHY HEALTH SCREENING 

This scan is recommended for both men and women. The scan covers from the top of the head to just above the pubic bone.  It includes all major organs, lymphatic, breasts, periodontal issues, Carotid artery, coronary issues, visualizes pain, intestinal inflammation, etc. This thermal imaging series will screen: Full cranial and thyroid (includes Carotid Artery), periodontal inflammation, back of neck (PNC), full breast scan and lymph node activity, full back (upper & lower), stomach, visceral (abdomen), large & small intestines, kidneys, colon, ovaries, uterus, prostate, testicles. 

THERMOGRAPHY FULL BODY SCREENING

This scan is from the top of the head to the bottom of the feet.  It includes everything in the Health Screening PLUS the bottom of the feet, the legs, and the lymphatic in the upper thighs. This scan will catch phlebitis, problems from varicosity (varicose veins), and covers the arms and hands. 

THERMOGRAPHY SPORTS SCREENING

Locate neuromusculoskeletal injuries, back pain, joint pain, stress fractures, etc. for optimal rehabilitation.​

​​​​Digital Infrared Thermal Imaging (DITI) has been recognized as a viable diagnostic tool since 1987 by the AMA Council on Scientific Affairs, the ACA Council on Diagnostic Imaging, the Congress of Neurosurgeons in 1988, and in 1990 by the American Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. A number of studies have been done to determine DITI’s interexaminer reliability and validity. A study of DITI in low back pain patients found interobserver reliability. In a study of patients with knee pain, test efficiency and interrater reliability was found.  

DITI has been shown to be useful as a diagnostic tool in the differential diagnosis of neuromusculoskeletal injuries and their prognosis for return to participation and/or competition.

YOURS FREE: Complimentary Oral Parasite and Bacteria Test

Oral infections are a significant risk factor for many other diseases such as diabetes, heart disease and cancer. Bacteria from infections in the mouth can invade the bloodstream and cause inflammation elsewhere in the body, inhibiting recovery and contributing to the future progression of a disease or its recurrence. Oral infections are a chronic strain on the immune system and the body as a whole.

Please take advantage of this opportunity for a complimentary oral parasite and bacteria test administered by Dentistry for Health NY. The knowledge gained will enhance your choices for supporting your body’s ability to heal and recover.
