Professional Perspectives on Thermography
Clinicians who refer patients to TDI – physicians, chiropractors, dentists, acupuncturists, and other practitioners – tend to value the same things: objective physiological documentation, captured under repeatable protocols, interpreted consistently, and reported in language their patients can understand.
Why Practitioners Refer to TDI
A different data layer. Structural imaging and laboratory work answer their own questions; a thermogram documents surface temperature and vascular patterning – physiology their other tools don’t measure. Used as an adjunct, it adds context to an examination without displacing anything in the workup.
Protocol discipline. Referring clinicians know a study captured carelessly is worse than no study. TDI’s controlled-room conditions, acclimation periods, standardized views, and marked regions of interest exist so that studies can be trusted – and compared over time.
Physician heritage. TDI was founded in 1982 by Philip Getson, D.O., who chaired the American Academy of Thermology’s breast protocol committee and reviewed more than 50,000 studies. Reporting today is led by Alexander Mostovoy, DHMS, BCCT, with over 25 years in clinical thermography.
Clear boundaries. Our reports document findings and recommend clinical correlation – they do not diagnose, and they never coach a patient away from standard care. Referring providers stay in charge of the workup; we supply a layer of information for it.
A Note on Quotations
Earlier versions of this page collected quotations that, in places, overstated what thermography can do. We hold endorsements to the same standard as our own copy: any professional quotation displayed here is individually reviewed first, and limited to experience with TDI’s process, imaging quality, and reporting – not claims of detection, diagnosis, or replacement of standard tests.
