Thermography

Medical & Veterinary Thermography helps ‘see’ the problems   …  

Thermography, or Digital Infrared Imaging (DII),  uses heat emitted from the body to ‘see’  tissue damage  –  such as congestion, infection, compression or the effects of nerve damage  –  it is not used to diagnose, but provides a non-contact means to assist in making client assessments

DII  is a sensitive means to assess and identify anomalies   –  often up to two weeks before clinical symptoms occur  –  and can be used to help identify the presence, the position and the extent of a problem.

Whether for human or animal clients, it is a useful tool not only to initially assess and help pin-point the exact location of an injury or condition, but also to assist in the administration of  DII Image-guided Therapy  –  where the images are used to more precisely identify areas for treatment.   In additional, subsequent imaging can be used to help monitor the progress and effect of treatment over time.

This series of images illustrate how DII can be used to monitor the immediate effect of Laser Acupuncture  …

Not only changes in the thermal pattern of the face, but also the lowering of the eye temperature…  all within 12 minutes post treatment.
