Thermography

what is thermography?

As one of the only smart, natural health scans available, thermography provides a window to the physiology of the body.

Medical DITI (digital infrared thermal imaging) is a noninvasive adjunctive diagnostic technique that allows 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 colors indicate 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.

Medical DITI's major clinical value is in its high sensitivity to pathology in the vascular, muscular, neural, and skeletal systems and as such can contribute to the pathogenesis and diagnosis made by the clinician.

Thermography is noninvasive and uses no radiation unlike mammograms and X-rays. It is a very sensitive and reliable means of graphically mapping and displaying skin surface temperature. With DITI clinicians can diagnose, evaluate, monitor, and document a large number of injuries and conditions including soft tissue injuries, arthritis, unexplained pain, nerve damage, artery inflammation, vascular disease, carpal tunnel, inflammatory pain, skin cancer, referred pain syndrome, digestive disorders, and stroke screening. It is also used as part of an early detection program which gives women of all ages the opportunity to increase their chances of detecting breast disease at an early stage. 

Medical DITI can offer considerable financial savings by avoiding the need for more expensive investigations. It is also unique in its capability to show physiological change and metabolic processes versus X-ray, C.T., ultrasound and MRI – all tests of anatomy that measure the structures of your body.
