Scan Options
Breast/Chest Study
The breast images are from the neck to below the breasts. The images are front, side views, each breast individually, under both breasts, under the armpits and the back. We are not just looking for cancer, we are looking for imbalances that may lead to problems in the future. Cancer does not develop overnight and the body exhibits certain characteristics before the cancer actually forms. There are many factors that can influence the health of the breast, such as: thyroid dysfunction, hormone imbalances, lymphatic congestion, toxicity, calcification and more. Thermography can identify these concerns so that a plan can be put into action.

Men’s/Women’s
Health Study
The head and neck images can identify dental infections, TMJ, sinus issues, carotid artery disease, thyroid dysfunction and more. The chest images include the breast but also looks at the heart, lungs, esophagus and spinal problems. The abdomen can see if there is developing pathology in the bladder, uterus, colon, liver, gallbladder and more. The Health Study is where most people like to start so they can have a thorough overview of the body and what areas may need to be addressed.

Women’s/Men’s
Whole Body Study
This study is the same as the Health Study but also includes the arms, hands, legs and feet. This screening can be beneficial for someone with diabetes, neuropathy, blood clots, injuries, arthritis and more.
60 min duration
Upon completion of your scan, we send our thermograms off to be analyzed by a licensed Texas Medical Doctor that will provide insights that may not be available with non-infrared examinations. We can also use follow-up, comparison thermal images to monitor therapy progress related, but not limited to conditions of arteries, arthritis, injuries, dental and TMJ issues, headaches, digestive disorders and so much more. Thermography is also useful to monitor general health, immune and breast health.
