Thermography measures infrared heat patterns produced by blood flow and physiological activity at the skin's surface. While it is not designed to diagnose internal organs or medical conditions, thermal imaging may reveal patterns associated with inflammation, vascular changes, or other physiological activity that could warrant further evaluation.
In addition to breast imaging, thermography may provide supportive information related to areas of inflammation or discomfort, circulatory and vascular concerns, lymphatic congestion, thyroid function, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, dental inflammation, sinus conditions, and carotid artery screening. These findings are intended to complement a comprehensive clinical evaluation and should be interpreted alongside a patient's medical history, physical examination, and other appropriate diagnostic tests.

Mammography and thermography evaluate breast health in different ways. Mammography is a structural imaging test that looks for anatomical changes, such as masses or calcifications. Thermography is a physiological imaging tool that measures heat patterns and vascular activity, which may reflect changes in inflammation or circulation
