The Thermography Process
Your Appointment Journey
A Step-by-Step Guide to Your Thermography Experience
At CT Thermography, we've designed the process to be straightforward, comfortable, and thorough. From preparing for your appointment to receiving your report, here's what you can expect along the way.
Before Your Appointment
Before your appointment, you'll receive an email with an electronic intake form to complete, along with pre-imaging guidelines to help ensure optimal imaging conditions.
Once your intake form is completed, a secure client portal will be created. This is where you'll be able to access your thermographic images and completed report following the interpretation process.
Your Imaging Experience
When you arrive, your thermographer will walk you through each step, explain what to expect, and answer questions you may have.
Your imaging takes place in a private, temperature-controlled room, where you'll have time to acclimate to the environment before imaging begins. Using medical-grade infrared technology, images are captured without physical contact, compression, or radiation. The imaging itself is quick and typically takes less than 15 minutes, depending on the type of imaging you've selected.
Report & Analysis
Following your appointment, your images undergo a comprehensive, three-level interpretation process performed by board-certified thermologists. This multi-step approach provides a through evaluation of the thermal patterns identified in your images.
Your completed digital report is typically available within 3-5 business days through your secure client portal. Your report includes your thermographic images, temperature measurements, and interpretation.
Establishing Your Baseline
For first-time clients, we recommend a follow-up appointment at six months. This comparison provides an opportunity to evaluate your thermal patterns over time and establish your personal baseline,
Once your baseline is established, annual imaging is generally recommended, provided your findings remain stable. Depending on your individual results, a different follow-up may be recommended.
Report Review & Next Steps
Once your report is available, you'll have the opportunity to review your findings and discuss any questions you may have. A consultation with a healthcare provider familiar with thermography can also help put your results into perspective and discuss any recommended next steps.
Our goal is to help you understand your report, become familiar with the thermal patterns identified, and know what steps may be appropriate moving forward.
