What is thermography?

D.I.T.I. Digital Infrared Thermal Imaging
Medical thermography or D.I.T.I. (Digital Infrared Thermal Imaging) gives us a different way of looking at the body. The infrared camera can detect minute differences in body temperature, which can visually show us how our body is functioning.

Different ranges of temperature reflected by the skin indicate processes that are happening underneath: in organs, the breasts, muscle tissue, in arteries and veins and in bone-structures and they can all be analysed.

The temperature in an healthy person is more or less the same on the left and right hand side of the body. An inflammation anywhere in the body can result in small changes in temperature in the skin which is picked up by the ultra sensitive infrared camera.

If we can see a clear difference in temperature between the left side and the right in a thermogram, it could indicate that there may be a medical issue that needs investigating further.
