Rather than using radiation to light up certain parts of your body, thermography uses the infrared radiation (heat) that is naturally emitted from your body's surface. This is translated into an image that reflects the temperature of different parts of your body using a color system. It's a bit like a heat map or other forms of thermal imagery, only applied to the human body. With these images, thermologists can look for indications of abnormalities, pathology, and disease.

There are many ways heat can be used to identify what's happening in the body. Inflammation for example, leaves a noticeable heat signature that thermography is well-suited to finding. Since inflammation is often an early warning sign of serious health issues, using thermography to identify it early on can be a huge help. Additionally, hormone imbalances, certain pathogens, and asymmetrical irregularities can be found using thermography. These are all potential warning signs of serious conditions. With thermography, they can be identified with the intention of preventing serious health problems in a way that's non-invasive and radiation-free. 

 

With this technology, it's possible to detect changes in your breasts years before tumors begin to form. Join us for a free webinar to learn more about the advantages of using thermography to monitor breast health.
