Thermography

DITI- (Digital Infrared Thermal Imaging or Thermography) is a noninvasive diagnostic technique that allows the examiner to visualise and quantify changes in skin surface temperature. An infrared scanning device is used to convert infrared radiation emitted from the skin surface into electrical impulses that are visualised in color on a monitor. This visual image graphically maps the body temperature and is referred to as a thermogram. The spectrum of colors indicate an increase or decrease in the amount of infrared radiation (INFLAMMATION) being emitted from the body surface. Since there is a high degree of thermal symmetry in the normal body, subtle abnormal temperature asymmetry's can be easily identified.

Clinical uses for DITI include;
To define the extent of a lesion of which a diagnosis has previously been made;

To localise an abnormal area not previously identified, so further diagnostic tests can be performed;

To detect early lesions before they are clinically evident;

To monitor the healing process before the patient is returned to work or training.

Pain Thermography
DITI's unique ability to see hotspots (heat and inflammation) in the body can differentiate between local or referred pain. For example, if your elbow or wrist was in pain, you would tell your healthcare provider where it hurt and they would usually treat the area of complaint. Thermography can take a thermal picture to see if the area was indeed inflamed- or if the pain is referred from a different part of the body, such as the neck or shoulder. Typical thermal images detect carpal tunnel, brachial plexus entrapment, arthritis, neck pain, back pain, joint pain. By being able to see your pain, your provider can treat you better!

Diti can also aid in the detection of: fibromyalgia, TMJ, thyroid concerns, lymph congestion, phlebitis, sinus troubles, dental pathology, RSD.

Diti is also an extremely valuable tool to detect breast pathology. For more information on breast thermography, visit www.longevitywi.com
