Many of our thermography patients have seen hyperthermia in the inner canthus of the eyes.  This heat signature could be from many things. One could be eye strain. It could also be lack of sleep, poor sleep quality, a headache, or allergies. One thing you should rule out is getting your eyes checked!

See your eye doctor!

At the risk of sounding like your mom, with love and concern for your very existence, not to mention your continued high quality of life, I’m issuing this command: pay your eye doc a visit.

Why?

So many reasons. Here are just a few:

1. See clearly. Optometrists often hear their patients exclaim, “Wow, I had no idea those <insert nearby marvel> looked so <insert surprising adjective>!” Our brains and eyes work together to normalize our current vision—make it feel o.k.—even when it’s far from optimal. A current prescription crisps up objects you might not have even realized were blurry. Which can prevent accidents! See your eye doc; it’s a no brainer.
2. Stay healthy. Your eyes truly are windows into your body (true, and your soul). An eye exam can reveal health issues before they become problems, preventing harm, interrupting progression, and in some cases, literally saving your life. Issues that affect your eyes and vision include diabetes, hyperthyroidism, and brain tumors. You don’t want to mess with brain tumors. See your eye doc.
3. Brighten your workdays. Computer vision syndrome is the technical term for the discomforts resulting from overexposure to high-energy visible blue light, emitted from the screens our eyes are glued to morning till night. Headache; fatigue; blurred vision; burning, irritated eyes; and neck and shoulder pain—who wants them? A thorough eye exam can score you specific remedies to eliminate them and revive your workday.

Your optometrist or ophthalmologist cares about your health and your vision. It’s their job. Let them take care of you.

Thermography is a reliable technique for detecting anomalies in the heat signatures near or on the surface of the body. This testing technique is globally used for detection of breast cancer and much more. Being a non-invasive procedure, it is extremely convenient for patients and the test results are quite informative. With the help of this technique, patients can get tested for heat signature changes in body without contact, radiation or compression.

Thermography training

Thermography training courses are designed for spreading awareness about health monitoring and maintenance applications among new infrared camera users. Such programs are open to people of all ages who are interesting in gaining practical knowledge about thermal imaging. When Part 1 and Part 2 are completed, a person would then become a Certified Thermographic Technician or a CTT. Trainings are performed by PACT trainers. Visit MedicalThermology.org for more information.

The thermography training will typically cover:

• Room Setup: Participants will learn about essentials for thermography room setup. These includes precise information about temperature of the room, privacy screening and vital tools such as foam boards, stool, and artifacts. Thermography training will also offer awareness about all the essential technical considerations and background requirements such as windows/ direct light essentials, lighting solutions, air vents/ deflection, pipes in the wall and extraneous heat.

• Intro to Positioning: Participants will go through an introduction to patient positioning during thermography training. Positioning training will encompass every critical detail that a professional technician must know to capture successful images. By the end of the training, participants will know exactly what procedure is to be followed for capturing breast images. A minimum of 6 images are taken of the breast. The breast images include: Front – Lateral Right – Lateral Left – Oblique Left – Oblique Right – Inferior) and another 25 images are taken for the full body scan. The CTT in training will have information about the necessary protocols to be followed by the patients, including keeping hair off the neck in a bun, avoiding touching/scratching, removing jewelry, undressing and putting clothes out of the way, acclimating with arms away from the body.

• Positioning: Participants will be provided a detailed overview of positioning during thermography sessions. They will have ample information regarding review of full body images, perfecting the sequence, taking breast images on thermal camera, taking full body images on thermal camera, and uploading exam details. Participants will also get a chance to understand how they can practice sample scans at home for enhancing their proficiency.

• Submitting Images after a scan: Participants will understand various steps to submit images after thermography sessions and access options such as a STAT report. They will be able to make changes within the patient form so that our interpreting doctors have all the information they need about our patients. From opening old scans of different patients to downloading and saving them into the interpretation software with password protection, thermography training covers everything. The goal is to make the interpretation and analysis process easy for participants.

With Medical Thermography, one can determine what areas you need to improve on now to possibly avoid cancer and other diseases. Monitoring yourself with Medical Thermography is a safe, accurate and an essential way to screen your entire body. Due to the number of thermographic findings that you can’t see with the naked eye, it’s ideal to have a full body scan as your baseline screening. Find out what areas you can improve on now for optimal health.

Medical Thermography cancer detection: no contact, no compression and its radiation free! An infrared camera takes images of your body checking for heat discrepancies. Early detection is your best defense and may save your life!

Medical Thermography is safe at any age and ideal for prevention.  Medical Thermography is 97% sensitive for Breast Cancer Screenings. Mammography is 83.3% sensitive. Full body thermography screenings are available for men, women and children. Don’t delay! Know what areas you need to work on now to achieve optimal health.

Patients are always asking me if their doctor will understand their thermography report. There’s a large spectrum of responses I’ve heard from my patients’ doctors. Some doctors support thermography so much they require all their patients to have an annual full body scan from me. The full body scan will assess an individual’s current health status by listing any abnormal hot or cold spots throughout the entire body. Medical thermography is infrared imaging.  Ideally, you would use thermography for cancer prevention, but it can also be early cancer detection which could save your life (70% of those who have diagnosed cancers from anatomical testing, could have been found up to 10 years earlier on a thermography). Other doctors have never heard of thermography. Most are somewhere in between.

Let your doctor know that “we are not looking to replace the traditional tests, only add to them*”. You can e-mail your report to your doctor and ask for a consult appointment to review your results. A thermologist will compose your thermography report much like how a radiologist will write a report on an X-ray or ultrasound. These reports are meant for your primary care physician to offer you further recommendations based on your results if any are needed. If you’d like a sample report to review with a Breast Thermography International (BTI) member, we’d be happy to discuss it with you or your doctor. E-mail us at shanna@introvertech.com to set up a review.

There are a wide range of suggestions your doctor could give you to improve your next thermography report. For example, you may be recommended to change parts of your diet. You may be instructed to relieve muscle and joint tension with Yoga or other forms of exercise.  Since most diseases can be caused by stress, you may be advised to meditate with calming music.  Perhaps you may need to improve your circulation with BEMER and chiropractic adjustments.  Sometimes, although we try our best to live a healthy life, we still may need to reduce toxins with a detox program of your choice.  These are just some of the many recommendations you and your physician can discuss in order to work toward a healthier life.

Share your thermography report with your family and friends. This might encourage them to include thermography into their own annual health regiment. Remember, early detection saves lives and prevention is ideal.

Be Well!
