Choosing Thermography

Choosing thermography as a monitoring tool offers several compelling benefits.

1. Non-Invasive & Non-Contact - Thermography is a non-invasive, non-contact imaging process that can detect and measure heat patterns, thermal anomalies, and blood flow in the body or heat emanating from an object or surface. This makes it an ideal diagnostic tool, especially in medical scenarios to prevent discomfort or infection risk to patients.

2. Safe & Painless - It involves no radiation or harmful side effects, making it a safe choice for regular monitoring and screening, including applications in breast cancer screening where it can be used as a complementary tool alongside mammography.

3. Early Detection of Abnormalities - Thermography can detect subtle changes in temperature and blood flow, indicative of potential issues before they become visible through other diagnostic methods. This early detection capability is valuable for preventive maintenance and early disease detection in healthcare.

4. Wide Range of Applications - From medical diagnostics, detecting breast abnormalities, vascular diseases, musculoskeletal disorders and more, thermography is versatile and effective across numerous applications.

5. Cost-Effective Monitoring & Diagnosis - Thermography can be a cost-effective option as it offers a less expensive alternative for preliminary screening.

Thermography’s non-invasive, safe, and comprehensive diagnostic capabilities make it an invaluable tool, and we are grateful to host Julie Kapassas of ThermaCan Imaging to offer Breast, Carotid, Lymphatic and Thyroid Thermology.


Why Choose ThermaCan?

“We are distinguished by emphasizing quality at every stage of the Thermology process. Our lab, Therma-Scan Reference Laboratory is located in Mesa, AZ and is the only scientific Thermology lab in North America, operating since 1972 under the direction of Dr. Philip Hoekstra PhD. Over 1 million bre last studies have been done by our lab. In Canada, there are no standards for medical thermology. We have rigorous adherence to standardized methods at every stage from capturing the scans, analyzing the data to reporting the results."
