Advantages of using thermography
What is thermographic investigation?
Thermographic investigation is a non-invasive, rapid, and objective method for the prevention, monitoring, and diagnosis of numerous musculoskeletal conditions and beyond, through the instant processing of thermographic images with the help of artificial intelligence.
Introduction
Medical thermography is a non-invasive imaging investigation, fast, and secure, which uses a high-performance infrared camera and artificial intelligence to obtain body heat maps. This detects micro-inflammations, muscle asymmetries, and biomechanical imbalances that can signal conditions before symptoms become apparent, making thermography an ideal solution for prevention, diagnosis, and monitoring in fields such as orthopedics, neurology, rheumatology, and sports medicine
Medical thermography can be used for:
- to visualize the expansion of a lesion that has already been diagnosed
- locates an abnormal area that was not previously identified, so that further tests can be performed for early diagnosis before the condition progresses
- to detect incipient conditions and be able to prevent them before they manifest clinically
- to monitor the healing processes
Medical thermography benefits
- Achieve considerable savings by avoiding the need for more costly investigations
- It is useful in the diagnosis, prognosis, therapy monitoring, and recovery in numerous conditions in the fields of rheumatology, oncology, neurology, physiotherapy, sports medicine, pediatrics, and orthopedics.
- Graphically represent the subjective sensation of pain by highlighting cutaneous temperature changes that accompany pain
- The results obtained through thermography are objective and have an excellent correlation with other diagnostic tests.
Advantages of using thermography
- It is a non-invasive method.;
- It is a safe method – unlike other investigations that involve the use of radiation, thermography has no negative impact on the body human;
- The results are provided quickly – with the aid of image quantitative processing software, we identify areas with thermal asymmetries, followed by qualitative interpretation to highlight the affections.;
- It can be used on any area of the body.;
- It can be repeated as many times as needed;
- Monitor the healing process and the effectiveness of different treatments.
After the acclimatization period, during which the patient's body temperature stabilizes to the environmental conditions, images are taken from a distance of 3 meters, so there is no contact. It only takes a few minutes, being an extremely quick procedure.
The investigation is very accurate because we use one of the best performing infrared cameras, with a deviation coefficient of only 0.3 degrees Celsius.
The advantage of using such an imaging diagnostic method is that it does not expose the patient to radiation, thus involving no short-term or long-term risks for them.
Digital infrared thermal imaging for detection of heating patterns, but also of blood circulation, at the tissue level in the body. In this way, thermal anomalies at the tissue level are detected, anomalies that can indicate a series of conditions.
Thermography is unique because it allows for the visualization of changes occurring within the body. By detecting asymmetries in the distribution of temperature on the body's surface, it can lead to the discovery of a multitude of diseases. Thermography can be used in diagnosis, prognostication, or monitoring prescribed treatments.
Using thermographic investigation It is possible to effectively monitor the thermal phenomena that occur in the human body. The thermal images obtained are color maps that, based on the association of suggestive colors, guide detailed investigations of the patient.
The first sign of an illness or dysfunction in the body is an increase in heat in that area, resulting in increased infrared radiation emission. In general, problems related to inflammatory processes appear as “hot spots.” The somato-sympathetic response in case of health problems appears on a thermogram as a colder area, with different characteristics depending on the condition.
It has also proven to be very useful as a complementary method to other diagnostic modalities. Thermography is non-invasive, unlike other diagnostic modalities, providing a precise and sensitive map of skin temperature with which numerous conditions can be diagnosed, evaluated, and monitored.
Would you like to prevent the progression of a potential illness through early diagnosis, or do you want to monitor the evolution of an existing condition? Get tested regularly using the thermographic method and find out efficiently, quickly, and affordably how your health is!
