Thermography offers a non-invasive way to identify and assess areas of inflammation throughout the body. There is now a consensus that chronic inflammation is a clinical marker for a compromised immune system and the onset of chronic disease – even as the initial inflammatory condition may be asymptomatic for an extended period of time. Areas of inflammation present with higher temperatures and are clearly identified from the thermal maps, or thermograms, generated by thermography imaging. For an overview on the unique contribution of thermography, please read our brief note on the Big Picture on Thermography. Read more. As the human body is one large inter-related system, and as the inflammatory markers associated with specific conditions can manifest in different areas of the body and be associated with different symptoms, there is often substantial value-added from analyzing the wider set of information available from more comprehensive thermography studies. For this reason, it is generally indicated that a full-body study, or at least an upper body study, is preferable over studies which covers only a specific region (such as the breast or the cranial study). The additional understanding, including correlation of different manifestations of inflammatory markets, is often valuable for practitioners in devising an individualized treatment approach. Every person deserves the truth about their state of health.
