Thermography Scan
Thermography is a safe, non-invasive imaging tool that creates a digital heat map of your body to detect changes in temperature and blood flow. These thermal patterns can reveal signs of inflammation, circulatory imbalances, or other abnormalities—often before symptoms appear or more invasive tests are recommended.
Unlike other imaging methods, thermography does not involve radiation or compression. It’s a gentle screening method ideal for long-term wellness monitoring and early detection. At Fort Worth Wellness, we use this advanced technology as part of a preventative, whole-body approach. The scan results help guide personalized treatment plans and lifestyle recommendations tailored to your unique needs.
Thermography can be used to support the early detection or monitoring of:
-
Breast health and breast cancer risk
-
Thyroid dysfunction
-
Chronic inflammation or pain
-
Cardiovascular issues
-
Hormonal imbalances
-
Autoimmune activity
-
Digestive dysfunction
Whether you’re monitoring a known concern or simply want to be proactive with your health, thermography offers an insightful, radiation-free option for staying in tune with your body.
FAQs About Thermography
What is Thermography?
Thermography is a non-invasive imaging technique that measures and records infrared heat patterns on the surface of the body. These thermal images can indicate inflammation, vascular activity, or other physiological changes linked to potential health concerns.
How is it different from mammograms or other scans?
Unlike mammograms, CT scans, or X-rays, thermography does not use radiation or physical contact. It simply captures your body's heat signature, making it a safe and gentle option for regular health monitoring, especially for breast and thyroid health.
What can thermography help detect?
Thermography can assist in the early detection or observation of:
-
Breast abnormalities
-
Thyroid imbalances
-
Inflammation or chronic pain
-
Circulatory issues and cardiovascular stress
-
Hormonal changes
-
Systemic dysfunctions such as autoimmune or digestive issues
​
​Is thermography safe?
Yes, thermography is completely safe. It is non-invasive, painless, and does not expose you to radiation or compression.
What should I expect during the scan?
You’ll be asked to sit or stand in front of the thermal imaging camera in a temperature-controlled room. Depending on the area being scanned, the process takes 15–30 minutes. No contact or discomfort is involved.
Who is a good candidate for thermography?
Thermography is ideal for anyone looking to monitor their health proactively, especially those seeking an alternative to radiation-based screenings or individuals with concerns about inflammation, hormone balance, or chronic conditions.
Can thermography be used for preventative health?
Yes! Thermography is an excellent preventative tool. Many clients use it for annual breast health monitoring, inflammatory tracking, or to assess the effectiveness of ongoing wellness programs
