What is Medical thermography

Medical thermography is used to perform preventive (breast) examinations into how the body functions. We investigate physiology and not anatomy. With medical thermography we get a report that indicates where improvements in health can be achieved, certain patterns “indicate….” and that can be used for follow-up research or for treatments.

For example, we refer to chiropractic, acupuncture, naturopathy, homeopathy, functional medicine doctors, etc.

With Medical thermography we do not get a diagnosis, but a report that shows where improvements can be made or it gives a clear reason for further research.

The Basics of Medical Thermography

Medical thermography is based on the measurement of the temperature at the surface of the skin. Our ultra-sensitive cameras measure this temperature millimeter by millimeter and turn it into color images. All temperature differences are measured; even the differences smaller than 0.05 ° C.

The body emits heat up to 0.6 centimeters under the skin. If something unusual is going on in your body, that particular problem signals the central nervous system. This then ensures a redistribution of blood from the skin. This sometimes makes a place unusually cold or warm. It is precisely that asymmetry or abnormal temperature of that area that indicates that something unusual is going on. So we measure the temperatures on the skin, but the relationship of the central nervous system and the skin makes it possible to say something about problems that take place deeper in the body.

In other words, the surface of the skin functions as a television screen where information can be read between different bodily processes. With the help of the infrared camera, this information is made transparent, after which it can be interpreted. Of course we use the best, most advanced software and Flir camera for the latter.

How it works

The investigation is done with a camera. There is no radiation and you are not touched. The thermograph remains at a distance of approximately one meter from you and makes recordings from different viewpoints.

A breast exam using medical thermography is:

  • Painless and 100% safe (no radiation, no pressure)
  • Reliable and accurate
  • Suitable for all breasts (incl implants and amputations)
  • Can be used with any cup size

Baseline breast study

Two breast examinations are called a baseline. In three to 6 months, two studies gives the greatest accuracy that we could want with thermography. During these months, you can make improvements in the tissue of your breasts. The remarkable patterns that we had seen at first thermogram and the differences we see in the second thermogram together for us are the Baseline. Which is your blueprint. We use this Baseline always if you would like to come every year (2 year) for a breast examination. These pictures are then compared to see if there have been changes. A follow-up after three or six months is for the doctor to decide who wrote your report. There is yet another reason for making a Baseline. If there are malignant cells present in the breasts than we know they multiply on an average of every 90 days. In a second measurement after 3 or 6 months we get it a more accurate thermogram. Thermography has an accuracy of 95% to 97%.
