FAQs
Thermography (D.I.T.I.)
Digital Infrared Thermal Imaging
What is thermal imaging?
Digital Infrared thermal imaging, or DITI, is a totally non-invasive, painless procedure with no radiation and no contact with the body. DITI is a clinical imaging technique that records the thermal patterns of your body. Your thermal images are used by your healthcare practitioner to help diagnose and monitor pain or pathology in any part of your body.
What is thermal imaging used for?
-To help in determining the cause of pain.
-To aid in the early detection of disease and pathology
-To evaluate sensory-nerve irritation or significant soft-tissue injury
-To define a previously diagnosed injury or condition
-To identify an abnormal area for further diagnostic testing
-To follow progress of healing and rehabilitation.
Is thermal imaging FDA registered?
Yes. DITI was FDA registered in 1982. Meditherm is the ONLY Thermography company the F.C.C. Cleared. We are also registered as the only medical manufacturer of D.I.T.I. cameras; regulated, and monitored by the F.D.A. and made here in the U.S.A. Our cameras are accurate within 1/100th of a degree and calibrated on a regular basis.
Is thermal imaging covered by insurance?
Most Insurance Companies do not cover Thermography; however, some may reimburse you. (There is NO billing code). IF you need financial assistance, are under underinsured or have no insurance, visit The United Breast Cancer Foundation. If they are funding reimbursements, you will see a short application under Services, Breast Screening/Thermography They will not pay for previous scans and you must be approved first before scheduling your appointment. https://www.ubcf.org/programs-services/breast-screening/
What parts of the body can be scanned?
Thermal images are taken of the whole body, or individual regions including breast, head, arm, leg, torso, etc. A lumbar assessment would typically include low back, pelvis, and legs. A cervical assessment would typically include, head and neck, upper trunk, and arms.
What happens when I have a thermal scan taken?
A thermal scan takes approximately 10 — 30 minutes depending on which part of the body is being scanned. You will remove all jewelry and clothes from the part of the body being scanned (for full body scans you may leave underwear on) and will be asked to wear a surgical gown. For a breast scan, you will be asked to disrobe from the waist up. While your skin is equalizing with the room temperature, you will be asked to fill-out appropriate paperwork.
What do I have to do to prepare for a thermal scan?
- No lotions, deodorants, powder, perfume on day of test. No shaving.
- Wear loose fitting clothes if possible. Hair pinned above neck.
- There are no dietary or medication restrictions on the day of your scan but NO excessive hot OR cold drinks prior to the test, No caffeine, soda, coffee, tea 4-5 hours prior to scan.
- No anti-inflammatory meds.
- Not breastfeeding or have stopped lactating 3-4 months. (Breast Scan only) We can scan the entire body, but not interprete the Breasts.
- No physical therapy, massage, or electromyography, acupuncture on the SAME day thermography is performed. No Infrared sauna, Cryotherapy, IV infusions, etc. (Wait for any bruising to dissipate after a mammogram min 24 hrs before a scan)
- No vigorous exercise 4-5 hours prior to the test.
- Wait 3 months post-surgery and/or radiation/chemo to area scanned.
- No smoking for 2 hours before the test
- Stay out of strong sunlight on the day of test.
- Do not come for a scan if you have a sunburn on your chest or the area of interest. You would need to wait until all the sunburned area has peeled off.
IMPORTANT: If you had a recent vaccination of any type; (Flu, Covid, Shingles, Tetanus etc) you must wait FOUR WEEKS before having any type of breast/chest scan due to possible inflammation of lymph nodes.
Who should interpret my scans and write the report?
All thermography interpretations should be reported by adequately trained and experienced doctors who hold board certification as Thermologists.
What certification should a thermographer have to perform this exam?
Thermographers should hold certification from a professional body with approved code of ethics and practice protocols that include quality control guidelines. We are certified through A.C..C.T.
