MEDICAL THERMOGRAPHY
Medical Thermography is an analysis for assessing skin surface temperatures that can be correlated by a physician to assess for abnormal physiology in the lymph system, thyroid, carotid artery, and breast.
Although thermography is best known for imaging and assessing breast health, it has a wide range of other applications due to its ability to view inflammation. Inflammation is a precursor to many diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, and cancer. Whether looking at the lymphatic or cardiovascular systems or looking at specific areas of concern like the breasts, a thermogram views these as one system, the whole body.
