Infrared Thermal Imaging
Safe – No radiation!
The non-intrusive choice
| HIPPOCRATES , the father of modern medicine, immersed his patients in mud. Where the heat of an area on the body caused the mud to dry first was an indication that disease might be present.
The importance of evaluating the heat associated with health conditions goes further back to the Ancient Egyptians . They used their hands to move over the body, while their brains acted as a computer to analyze the heat signals being generated. Modern infrared cameras now update these methods by looking at the far-infrared portion of the spectrum associated with the heat being emitted from the body. This portion of the spectrum is not visible to the human eye, and therefore requires a sophisticated detector inside the camera to translate the signals into a color scale, from hot to cold . The resultant images of the body will vary in shades from red to blue , representing the thermal activity of the area being scanned. This is a truly non-invasive imaging method, as safe as looking in the mirror. The camera is recording the heat signals being generated by the body. The significance of this information is represented in over 4,000 published articles on the subject in the medical literature. |
