Anyone 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.
Throughout the Netherlands and Belgium you can have a Thermogram. (for international thermography locations look at the website of the IAMT to find a place near you).
The thermographer takes the thermogram that is sent to the doctor Thermologist for evaluation.
- First time breast imaging: € 247,-
- Second of the baseline: € 215,-
- Follow up breasts: € 247,-
- Womens health study: € 415,-
- Mens health study: € 415,-

Depending on which study you prefer, a consultation lasts between 15 and 60 minutes.
The infrared camera images the skin surface (1/4 inch); the imaging provides 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.
Yes, Thermography with any other unspecified tests. That could be x-ray, mammogram, MRI, CT, etc. In fact, because the FDA identifies thermogram as an adjunct to mammogram, anyone who has ever had a mammogram should also have a thermogram. Thermography is not a stand-alone diagnostic tool. (Thank goodness… there should always be more than one test for any diagnosis).
Thermography does not see deep inside the body, as it is non-invasive. If our Interpreting Physicians see something that they would consider “thermographically significant” they will give you strong encouragement to seek further clinical correlation and evaluation. Remember that “Thermographically Significant” does NOT necessarily mean concern for a specific disease, but can indicate an abnormal thermal pattern(s) that meet a certain clinically acceptable level of significance. Imaging of the breast is not intended as a cancer detection test, as it does not suggest, confirm or rule out the possibility that cancer exists in the breast or any other area of the body.
No. Thermography’s intended use as an adjunct to other clinical diagnostic procedures for quantifying and screening of temperature differences in the skin surface.
A healthy body is expected to be thermally symmetrical. The Interpreting Physicians are looking for signs of significant asymmetry which can show valuable indications such as; natural healing signs of inflammation, blood profusion, lymphatic congestion, injury, hormonal imbalance and much more. After evaluating these areas they will assess their level of concern (low, moderate or high) as it relates to the thermal patterns. They will also recommend a follow-up appointment for further evaluation, if necessary, or to establish a stable baseline.
Getting a mammogram is a very personal choice for every woman. We encourage you to discuss this with your doctor or trusted healthcare practitioner. We also encourage you to educate yourself about the associated risks, so that you can make an educated decision best for you.
This is a very personal question. Each case is personal and unique. I can tell you that I have educated myself so that I can prepare myself as much as possible in the unlikely event of a diagnosis. Without preparation I have witnessed how decisions are extremely difficult and sometimes with regret for feeling rushed.
A baseline is two identical studies, taken at two different times to find if patterns are stable or if there are any changes. Therefore, the follow-up appointment is the most valuable. If the patterns are stable and not significant, there will be a recommend annual follow-up or earlier if any concerns should arise in the meantime. If there is not stability, there may be recommendation for further clinical evaluation and another follow-up in 3 – 6 months.
We believe every person deserves to know the status of their health, advanced symptoms need advanced disease management. Thermography provides a very sensitive look at the most clinically recognized indicator of potential health problems – inflammation. In other words, thermography can see what the body is doing in attempt to heal itself. Sometimes it needs help.
The highest use of thermography is to thermally monitor dynamic changes in general health. We recommend you choose to have a thermal examination to include multiple areas of your body for your first exam, which offers you the greatest benefit of thermography. If you choose only a breast exam for your initial thermal exam, it will provide limited information regarding your general health. This is a non-contact, non-invasive procedure which captures and records temperature variations on the skin. The skin is the body’s most intelligent organ and is “wired” with a communication network connecting all other organs and physiological processes in the body. The skin responds to physiological changes and a thermography device observes those changes. Assessments of these changes are reported by medical professionals trained to correlate thermal findings with a person’s health history and concerns.
