Thermographic Diagnostic Imaging (TDI), part of a Health & Wellness Center in Marlton, continues to provide infrared imaging of the breast, neuromuscular system, thyroid, dental, TMJ and sinus regions to assist in the early diagnosis of problems associated with these areas.

Thermography utilizes infrared imaging cameras that “read” the entire infrared range of the electromagnetic spectrum and produce images. Medical Thermography uses infrared technology to provide an image of the body’s physiological responses. It does so without the use of radiation, contact or other invasive means. There are no risks or side effects to the test.

TDI utilizes the NEC Thermo Tracer by Mikron, the only FDA approved unit expressly designed for medical applications. It is considered by many to be the finest thermal imaging camera available due to its lack of drift leading to highly reproducible serial studies. Not all Thermographic equipment is of this quality. Some units do not allow for variable statistical measurement of regions of interest.

TDI strictly adheres to protocols of the world wide Thermographic community. All images are taken in controlled environments with special attention to temperature and ambient light. As a part of patient centered approach all abnormal reports are followed up with a phone conference at which time the images are reviewed and recommendations made. These may include further diagnostic tests as well nutritional and dietary counseling, detoxification and other approaches to health.

“Thermography is a totally safe, non-radiologic, non-invasive, painless test with absolutely no adverse effects and NO contraindications,” explains Liesha Getson. “It can be used at any age and provides a diagnostic tool far superior to others in early stages of some diseases, while being equally effective at any stage of the disease process,” she adds.

While the Society continues to recommend mammograms, there is debate as to their effectiveness in the diagnosis of breast cancer. They issued a statement saying: “mammography can miss cancers that need treatment, and in some cases, finds disease that does not need treatment.”
