The practitioners at our functional medicine clinic near Milwaukee employ thermography imaging technology, DITI, to look for areas of asymmetry in the body. When the body is healthy, the thermogram will be primarily symmetrical. If significant asymmetry is present, the practitioner knows that area of the body may contain one of several problems.
• Inflammation • Injury • Tumors • Arthritis
• Congestion in the lymphatic system • Vascular conditions, such as Raynaud’s disease
What is Thermography?
Thermography is an FDA approved non-invasive screening procedure which uses a specialized thermal camera to take infrared images of your breast, specific area of concern or a full body.
It is painless, non-invasive and radiation free
Is Thermography beneficial for the breast?
It offers earlier detection of breast disease
Digital Infrared Thermal Imaging detects abnormal cellular changes that accompany breast pathology whether it is cancer, fibrocystic disease, an infection or vascular disease
30 years of research resulted in 800 peer-reviewed studies on breast thermography
Full Body Thermogram
A Full Body Thermography Screening utilizing Digital Infrared Thermal Imaging is available for both men and women. It is a unique technology to determine the physiology of the body, and oftentimes it is beneficial in uncovering hidden health issues. It is able to show inflammatory processes or comparative changes in muscles, joints, and most nerve compressions.
And here are some other examples:
Heart Disease Prevention: Thermography screenings can assess heart function and detect inflammation in the carotid arteries (which may be a precursor to stroke and blood clots). When inflammation and / or occlusion of the carotids are visible, your doctor may do additional testing. Earlier detection of a heart problem may save your life. Levels of heat in that region can indicate immune dysfunction. On the other hand, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, and aching joints are just a few complaints that correlate to cool patterns seen in this area.
Takes a thermal picture to determine abnormalities or changes in the breast tissue. Thermography can detect irregular patterns years before a mammogram. Best of all, Thermal Imaging is painless, non-invasive, and has no radiation . . .
Pain in the body shows up as Hyperthermia (hot spots: red and white) or Hypothermia (cold spots: blue, purple, and black) indicating to the client and/or practitioner a vascular or nerve problem within the body. The spectrum . . .
Inflammation is a precursor to many diseases such as cancer, arthritis, heart disease, stroke, diabetes and high blood pressure. Heat patterns indicate inflammation, which is precursor to disease in the body and directly correlates. . .
