Now Booking Appointments for Bio-Energetic Assessments and Thermal Imaging. Available in Fort Smith, Fayetteville, NWA area and Poteau, OK
Medical Thermal Imaging is a procedure where your body is scanned with special infrared cameras. It is used to study a broad number of diseases where skin temperature can reflect the presence of inflammation in underlying tissues or where blood flow is increased or decreased due to a clinical irregularity. We offer mobile services to Fort Smith, Lincoln, Mena, Fayetteville, AR, Bolivar, MO and Poteau, OK
The advantage of thermal imaging is there is no radiation, it is non-invasive and painless, plus the scan images can be reviewed immediately with the official report available quickly, usually within 72 hours. The scan can detect physiological or functional changes. It does not show a tumor or structure. For example, it will not show a breast cancer tumor, but it will show the heat produced on the skin as the tumor grows, angiogenesis occurs and cells mulitply.
Initially, we take thermal images of regions of the body. In 3 months, the breast area is re-imaged to determine any changes in the distinct thermal fingerprint that should remain constant. If no changes are seen, the scan is repeated annually. If there is a change, the frequency for followup will be determined by the amount of change noted. Heat produced with breast cancer may manifest itself in a thermal imaging scan, years prior to being seen with conventional testing.
All thermal imaging scans are interpreted by a board certified Medical Doctor or Doctor of Osteopathy, trained in thermology. The physicians dictate the official report and send it to our clinic.
