Hopefully you already know that thermography is being used in conjunction with mammograms or ultrasounds for the earliest detection of breast cancer. However, you may not know that thermography is also a great tool in preventative care and early detection of many other medical conditions. A thermographic scan reveals inflammation in the body as well as vascular and lymphatic irregularities. Because many doctors now believe that most disease and illness starts with inflammation, the earlier it is detected, the better the chances are that the condition can be reversed and with a more non-invasive approach.
Thermograms can assess heart function and can help assess risk of stroke, revealing inflammation in the carotid artery before many other traditional medical tests reveal problems.
Thermograms are the only medical test that can actually see pain. Used with other medical testing they can give your health care provider the most information possible for the best diagnosis and treatment options.
