Frequently Asked Questions

Thermography is a gentle, non-invasive imaging method that uses medical infrared technology to visualize heat patterns on the surface of the body. It’s completely radiation-free, contact-free, and helps reveal early signs of inflammation or imbalance.

Thermography offers insight into:

• Early inflammatory changes

• Circulation and lymphatic function

• Nerve irritation or soft-tissue injury

• Areas needing further evaluation

• Healing and wellness progress over time

Thermal imaging supports men and women of all ages. It’s especially helpful for monitoring:

• Breast health

• Thyroid and lymphatic concerns

• Digestive issues

• Vascular changes

• Chronic pain or neuropathy

Thermography also helps establish a personal baseline so subtle changes can be tracked over time.

Thermography looks at function-how your body is behaving. Mammography and ultrasound look at structure-physical masses.

Thermography offers a complementary layer of insight and is not limited by breast density.

No. Only a biopsy can diagnose cancer. Thermography can help identify abnormal patterns that may warrant further evaluation.

No. A referral is not required. While many clients come at the recommendation of a practitioner, CT Thermography happily accepts self-referred clients.

Time varies by screening type, but most appointments are completed within 30-45 minutes.

Reports are available within 3–5 business days and will be provided through your client portal.

Every scan undergoes a three-level interpretation by Board Certified Thermologists to ensure accuracy, depth, and consistency.

A baseline scan reflects your unique thermal “fingerprint.” Because one scan can’t determine what’s normal for you, a comparison study typically performed six months later allows our thermologists to confirm whether your patterns are stable or show meaningful changes.

Most traditional insurance plans do not currently cover thermography.

However:

• Supplemental plans (e.g., Aflac) often reimburse some or all of the fee

• Health shares (e.g., Liberty Health Share) often cover breast thermography

• HSA/FSA funds can be used to pay for any thermography screening

Yes. Thermography is completely radiation-free, non-contact, and painless. It is safe for all ages and can be repeated as often as needed.

You’ll receive preparation guidelines in advance. These include simple steps such as avoiding lotions, exercise, and heat exposure before your appointment to ensure the most accurate results.

You’ll be guided to a private, temperature-controlled room where your scan will be performed using a medical infrared camera. The process is quick, comfortable, and non-invasive.
