Any adult can benefit from Thermography. Thermography is perhaps most popular for breast imaging but many people don't realize its various clinical applications. It can also be used to help in determining the cause of pain. It can also be used in the early detection of temperature change, to evaluate sensory-nerve irritation or significant soft-tissue injury, to help define a previously diagnosed injury or condition, or to identify an abnormal area for further diagnostic testing.

Mammograms, Thermograms, MRIs, X-Rays or any other imaging scan cannot diagnose cancer. The most common way to make a cancer diagnosis is by taking a biopsy and having a lab analysis.

Mammograms, Thermograms, MRIs, X-Rays or any other imaging scan cannot diagnose cancer. The most common way to make a cancer diagnosis is by taking a biopsy and having a lab analysis. A thermogram is able to detect areas of dysfunction in the body by imaging hot and cold areas. The reason this is so important, is that a change in temperature is one of the first signs of disease. This is the reason that areas of dysfunction can show up so much earlier with a thermographic scan.
How is Thermography different than Mammography?
Will a thermographic scan tell me if I have cancer?
If I have a suspicious mammogram or find a lump in a breast, should I have a thermogram?
Thermography is a test of physiology and function. It is not a structural test. DITI or Thermography detects thermal patterns. Thermography doesn't replace the need for Mammography. Thermography can pick up signs of inflammation missed by mammography and mammograms do not image temperature patterns.

If I have a suspicious mammogram or find a lump in a breast, should I have a thermogram?
If I have a suspicious mammogram or find a lump in a breast, should I have a thermogram?
Yes. The information provided by a thermography study can contribute useful additional information which ultimately helps your doctor with case management decisions. It is also important to establish a baseline for future comparison in order to monitor changes and the progress of any treatment.
Is Breast Thermography safe for breast implants?
If I have a suspicious mammogram or find a lump in a breast, should I have a thermogram?
How long does a Thermography scan take? When will I get my results?
Yes. The accuracy of thermography is not affected in patients with implants. Since there is no compression there is zero risk of causing damage to the implants.

If I have a suspicious mammogram or find a lump in a breast, should I have a thermogram?
How long does a Thermography scan take? When will I get my results?
Depending on the scan, it usually takes 30-60 minutes. For example, a full body scan may take 1 hour. Your report will be emailed to you usually within 5 to 7 working days of the day of scan.
Does insurance cover Thermography?
How often should I have a thermal scan?
Is Thermography safe? Does it hurt?
At the present time, most insurance companies do not cover the procedure. You will be given a receipt for your visit, which can be used as a medical expense for your taxes if applicable.
Is Thermography safe? Does it hurt?
How often should I have a thermal scan?
Is Thermography safe? Does it hurt?
Thermography is radiation free, pain free, non-invasive. DITI detects and records the infrared heat radiating from the surface of the body. There is no contact with the body or harmful radiation.

Breast Thermography require a reliable baseline which normally requires two studies, 3-months apart, after this you should have an on-going annual comparative study to detect any suspicious functional (physiological) changes, warranting further investigation. Depending on your personal history and risk for breast disease, your doctor can advise how often you should have a thermal scan repeated.
Full Body Thermography should be repeated annually for comparative studies.

Have clinical tests been done on thermal imaging?
Yes! Over 800 peer-reviewed studies on breast thermography exist in the index medicus literature. In this database, well over 300,000 women have been included as study participants. The numbers of participants in many studies are very large (10,000, 37,000, 60,000, 85,000, etc.) Some of these studies have followed patients for up to 12 y
Yes! Over 800 peer-reviewed studies on breast thermography exist in the index medicus literature. In this database, well over 300,000 women have been included as study participants. The numbers of participants in many studies are very large (10,000, 37,000, 60,000, 85,000, etc.) Some of these studies have followed patients for up to 12 years. These clinical trials have demonstrated that breast thermography: Detects the first signs of a cancer up to 10 years before any other procedure can detect it. Significantly augments the long-term survival rates of its recipients by as much as 61%. When used as part of a multimodal approach (clinical examination + mammography + thermography), will detect 95% of early stage cancers.
When can I NOT do thermography?
Have clinical tests been done on thermal imaging?
Is thermal imaging FDA registered?
- Thermography should not be performed during pregnancy or while lactating. You must wait 3 months to normalize hormones in the body.
- Thermography should not be performed after a biopsy or any other breast surgery.
- Thermography should not be performed if you had any recent skin lesions, the inflammation can cause a false positive result.

Is thermal imaging FDA registered?
Yes. DITI was FDA registered in 1982.
