FAQs
What Is Thermography? Visualizing Body Heat for Health Insights
Thermography is a gentle, non-invasive diagnostic technique that maps your body’s heat signatures. What distinguishes thermography from traditional imaging is its focus on how your body functions rather than just its structural composition.
How Thermography Works
Every cell in your body generates heat, creating distinctive thermal patterns that can be detected by using our highly sensitive infrared camera system and patented software. These thermal emissions are transformed into precise digital images where different colors represent varying temperature levels.
The science behind thermography is based on the principle that your body naturally emits infrared radiation, creating a unique thermal signature. The imaging system detects these emissions and converts them into detailed visual representations. Areas with increased blood flow or metabolic activity typically appear warmer, while areas with reduced activity appear cooler.
Thermography uses infrared imaging to detect temperature variations on the surface of the body. These temperature differences can indicate underlying areas of inflammation, which can be linked to various conditions and imbalances in the body. Because thermography is completely non-invasive, painless, and no exposure to radiation, it’s a safe option for ongoing health monitoring.
What Are the Benefits of Thermography?
Thermography excels at identifying abnormalities in their earliest stages, giving you a valuable advantage in preventative healthcare. It’s particularly beneficial for those seeking radiation-free imaging alternatives.
Is Thermography Covered by Insurance?
We don’t directly bill insurance companies. Thermographic services are occasionally covered by insurance (though rarely). However, we strive to keep our services affordable and accessible. We’re happy to provide the appropriate medical codes for you to discuss potential reimbursement with your insurance provider. Payment is required at your appointment time.
What Forms of Payment Do You Accept?
For your convenience, we accept all major credit cards (Mastercard, Visa, Discover, American Express), cash, and personal checks. All services must be paid for at the time they’re provided.

How Safe Is Thermography?
Thermography is completely safe. The procedure is entirely non-invasive and uses no radiation whatsoever. It simply detects the natural thermal energy your body produces, making it appropriate for individuals of any age.
What Areas Do You Service?
Based in Lighthouse Point, our services extend throughout the Southeast coastal region. We maintain mobility to better serve our patients across this area.
Does Thermography replace mammography?
NO. A procedure that looks at the health of the breasts does not replace a procedure that is looking for cancer. Mammography is a cancer-screening procedure that uses radiation. It is strictly looking for signs that cancer may be present. Thermography is not a standalone procedure. It is a thermographic temperature differential study of the breasts and is looking for signs to confirm breast health or that your breasts may be generally unhealthy. Our Interpreting Physicians are not looking for cancer or any other disease. Only a biopsy can diagnose cancer.
What are your Interpreting Physicians looking for?
Because Thermography detects inflammation and blood profusion, our Interpreting Physicians are looking for signs of lymphatic congestion, dilated ducts, injury, generalized inflammation, hormone imbalance as well as specific patterns. When they evaluate these areas, they will assess their significance and comment as to whether they see a low, moderate or high level of significance. They will also recommend a follow-up appointment for further evaluation or to establish a thermal baseline where our Interpreting Physicians will compare your images from your first imaging to those of your follow-up imaging.
Does Thermography see cancer? If I have something suspicious looking, will the doctors at least say something?
Thermography does not see cancer. Imaging the breast is not intended as a cancer detection test, as it does not suggest, confirm or rule out the possibility that cancer exists in the breast or any other area of the body. If our Interpreting Physicians see something that they would consider “thermographically significant,” they will give you a strong and intentional encouragement to seek further clinical correlation. Remember that “thermographically significant” does not necessarily mean significant for a specific disease.
Is Thermography considered “Early Detection?”
No. Thermography does not detect cancer, so the word “detection” is not a part of a professional Thermographer’s vocabulary. The Thermographer captures the images, and the interpreting physician interprets them. Our interpreting physicians will give you a breast HEALTH assessment and make recommendations that you and your doctor can consider to support healthy breasts
When will I receive my report?
Reports will be sent to you or your doctor via a HIPAA-compliant email service within 1-2 weeks. In the busier months of October and November, this may extend as far out as 3 weeks. If you have a serious concern, we can provide a STAT interpretation for an additional $50 which means your report will be sent to you within 48 hours.
Early Clues. Powerful Prevention.
