What Thermography Records
Your skin radiates infrared energy in a pattern shaped by circulation, nerve activity, and the physiology beneath it. Thermography – digital infrared thermal imaging (DITI) – records that pattern with a sensitive infrared camera, producing a physiological map that structural tests like X-ray, ultrasound, CT, and MRI are not designed to capture.
That difference is the whole point. Structure and function are different questions, and thermography answers the second one – which is why it serves as adjunctive information for clinical correlation rather than a stand-alone test, and why breast thermography complements provider-recommended breast imaging rather than competing with it.
At TDI, thermography has been the entire practice since 1982: physician-developed protocols, temperature-controlled imaging rooms, board-certified technicians, and interpretation of every study by a Board-Certified Clinical Thermologist. Reports document thermal asymmetries, vascular patterns, and changes from your baseline in language your healthcare provider can act on.
