THYROID THERMOGRAPHY
Thyroid thermography uses infrared imaging to detect heat patterns in the thyroid gland, aiding in the identification of abnormalities and potential thyroid disorders. This non-invasive technique offers a complementary screening tool for thyroid health assessment.
We Offer 100% Green Thyroid Thermography
Introducing a Safe and Pain-Free Way to Monitor Health Conditions Safely and Effectively. We are excited to offer the most advanced thermography imaging available. Thermography measures the heat that radiates from your body and is completely safe. There is no radiation exposure; rather, it is similar to a camera taking a picture of your body. Thermography is a non-invasive clinical imaging procedure that can detect and monitor diseases and other conditions by showing the abnormal temperature variations present in the body.
Thyroid thermography is a diagnostic technique that uses thermal imaging to detect temperature changes in the thyroid gland. The thyroid gland is a small, butterfly-shaped gland located in the neck that produces hormones that regulate the body’s metabolism.
Thyroid thermography involves the use of an infrared camera to measure the temperature of the skin overlying the thyroid gland. The theory behind this technique is that abnormalities in the thyroid gland can cause changes in blood flow and temperature of the skin overlying the gland.
The thyroid gland is located at the base of the neck, just above the clavicles, and just beneath the skin. The thyroid gland produces hormones that regulates metabolic rate that strongly effect body weight, energy level, immune competence and fertility. The symptoms of thyroid disorders usually develop so slowly that most people don’t distinguish them from ageing. Common symptoms include unexplained gain or loss of body weight, intolerance of cold or heat, loss of hair, pain of joints and muscles, heart palpitations, poor memory/concentration and depression. Women are more likely to develop thyroid disorders, especially hypothyroidism and the most common cause of hypothyroidism is Hashimoto’s disease. Family history, radiation exposure and pregnancy seems to initiate Hashimoto’s, a degenerative disease of the thyroid gland caused by the body’s own immune system. Graves’ disease is another manifestation of an immune disorder in which abnormal antibodies stimulate the production of unusually high levels of thyroid hormones.
The dense vascularization and superficial location of the thyroid gland enable an evaluation of its metabolic activity by high-resolution infrared imaging. Thermology can provide a valuable adjunctive modality that complements laboratory assessment of hormone levels and antibody titers, clinical examination and symptoms in the diagnosis of thyroid disorders, such as Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and Graves’ disease, goiter as well as thyroid cancer. Thermology findings are well correlated with clinical symptoms and provide an objective indication for laboratory determination of thyroid hormone levels and antibody titers. Thermology also provides a simple and non-invasive means of screening cancer from benign thyroid cysts. The imaging process is completely passive (non-contact and non-radiation) and involves only a few images of the base of the neck. Thermology can also provide a useful monitor of the effectiveness of treatment programs for thyroid disorders.

Questions People Commonly Ask About Thyroid Thermography
Early Detection
Thyroid thermography helps identify abnormal heat patterns that may indicate thyroid disorders, allowing for early diagnosis and intervention.
Non-Invasive
This technique uses infrared imaging, providing a painless and non-invasive alternative to traditional thyroid diagnostics.
Radiation-Free
Unlike some imaging methods, thyroid thermography does not involve radiation, making it a safer option for repeated use.
Complementary Screening
It serves as an additional tool alongside conventional diagnostic methods, enhancing the overall assessment of thyroid health.
