Thermography, or Infrared Thermal Imaging, is a unique technology that takes a picture of inflammatory patterns on the skin. It is different than other imaging tools because it helps us to see function (physiology). MRI and X-ray detect anatomical or structural changes. Thermography was approved by the Food and Drug Administration (US) as an additional health assessment tool in 1982.

Clinically, thermography assessments rely on the sympathetic nerve control of skin blood flow and the ability of the sympathetic nervous system to respond, and react, to pain, pathology, injury or dysfunction anywhere in the body. In other words, the skin responds to physiological changes and a thermography device records those changes.

Thermography Medical Clinic uses the most advanced infrared cameras (with the highest resolution in the industry) with patented software to generate the most accurate thermal maps of the skin.

Thermography provides an accurate image of the status of inflammation, which has now been demonstrated to be inextricably linked to the development of many chronic diseases. There is also growing evidence of a substantial increase in the effectiveness of screening procedures when multiple tests, including thermography, are included in health assessments – precisely because each test provides unique information about the state of health.

The role of thermography in medical practice will continue to expand as the exact role and importance of inflammation in disease development is more widely adopted into, and discussed within, the standard curriculum in medical schools.

Thermography is a non-contact and non-ionizing technology. As nothing touches the patient’s skin, thermography assessments are painless and easily replicable. This makes thermography valuable for general assessments as well as monitoring the progress with treatment protocols.

Thermography was approved by the Food and Drug Administration (US) as an additional health assessment tool in 1982.

Anyone who is interested in proactively taking charge of their health and not focused exclusively on specific disease diagnosis will benefit from Thermal Imaging. A thermal assessment combined with guidance from a trusted healthcare provider is an opportunity to achieve desired results of optimal health and longevity.

The infrared camera images the skin surface (1/4 inch), which is the source of a wealth of information reflecting internal metabolism and physiological changes. Thermography does not need to penetrate and invade the body to obtain unique and critical information regarding status of health.

Thermography services from TMC are typically covered by flexible spending option/accounts within standard health insurance plans. These are sometimes referred to as Health, Wellness, or Flexible Spending Accounts.

A healthy body is expected to be thermally symmetrical. The thermography report: (1) identifies any signs of significant asymmetry in temperature and any unusual thermal patterns which can indicate occurrences such as: natural healing signs of inflammation, blood perfusion, lymphatic congestion, injury, hormonal imbalance, and much more; (2) provides an assessment of the level of concern (low, moderate or high); and (3) recommends additional external tests for further investigation or correlation, if necessary, or thermography follow-ups to establish a stable thermal baseline or to monitor changes. The report also includes the set of thermal images on which the assessment is based.
