Cutting edge risk assessment technology for safe, natural breast imaging.

Thermography utilizes the most advanced and sensitive infrared thermal camera to detect the slightest temperature differences in the human body allowing doctors to see increased blood flow (Angiogenesis) indicating the health of the breasts and possible signs of cancer, without radiation or compression. Imaging is performed by Carol Fowler, a Certified Clinical Thermographic Technician and member of IACT, the International Academy of Clinical Thermology which requires technicians to adhere to strict procedures and protocols.

Introducing Vital Thermal Imaging.

Here is what separates us from other Thermographic Technicians in the Reno/Tahoe, Nevada and Boise, Idaho Regions:

1. Certified Clinical Thermographic Technicians (CTT) who are IACT Members must use state-of-the-art thermal cameras with up-to-date optic systems and current software. These systems are costly, make sure you are being imaged by this technology and equipment.

2. Precise, standard pre-imaging protocols must be followed by the patient prior to their appointment and strict imaging protocols must be followed by the technician during the imaging process.

3. All Vital Thermal Thermograms are read by a Board Certified Thermologist. What type of doctor is qualified to provide the interpretation of thermograms? Only DCs (Doctors of Chiropractic), MDs (Medical Doctors), and DOs (Doctors of Osteopathy) can become become Board Certified Radiologists or Thermologists. All of these doctors have the clinical acumen necessary to take additional training to specialize in Radiology or Thermology.

4. Patients receive a comprehensive report generated by the Board Certified Thermologist, not the Imaging Technician.

5. We specialize only in Breast and Thyroid Thermography due to the high accuracy rate of the technology when imaging is utilized for these areas of the body. Claims of new advancements that allow infrared imaging to see deep into the body to detect tumors, organ pathologies, and other deep structures are FALSE.

Beware as some thermographic technicians will claim that their system can do this!

Thermography can only see to a depth of 5mm. How do we know this? Research studies were performed long ago using both animals and humans. Multiple volunteers had heat generating modules surgically implanted at varying depths from the bone to the surface of the skin. The surgical procedures were allowed to completely heal and baseline MIR images taken to demonstrate normal thermal patterns. Each module was turned on individually and heated. It was discovered that until the heat source was within 5mm of the surface of the skin it could not be detected. Now, has infrared technology advanced since then? Absolutely, but have the laws of thermodynamics changed? When asked if these “new” imaging systems have undergone research by reproducing these studies you will find that the answer is no.

If these claims were true why would we need basic radiology, CT, MRI, ultrasound, mammography, or any other medical imaging technology? Thermography offers significant advantages in many areas, but patients should not be persuaded to believe that thermography can see deep into the body and provide screening for the early detection of internal disorders.

If you utilize the services of an alternate Thermographic Technician, ask these questions before booking your Thermogram appointment.

Stop Wondering.  Start Knowing.
