One of the most exciting technologies available today is Digital Infrared Thermal Imaging (DITI). This technology is available through a separate business, Medtherm of Columbus, located in the lower level of our building.

It is used as an aid for diagnosis and prognosis, as well as monitoring therapy progress, for conditions and injuries, including:

Back injuries, arthritis, headache, nerve damage, unexplained pain, fibromyalgia, RSD (CRPS), dental and TMJ, artery inflammation, vascular disease, breast disease, carpal tunnel syndrome, disc disease, inflammatory pain, skin cancer, referred pain syndrome, sprain/strain, stroke screening, whiplash, and digestive disorders.

Images or "Thermograms" can be taken of the whole body or just areas being investigated. The digitized images are stored on a computer and are sent electronically to a Thermologist (certified doctor) for interpretation and reporting. Your report is color printed and is accompanied by an audiotape. A copy of the images can also be sent to your healthcare professional.

Procedure - unlike most diagnostic tests DITI is:
• Non-invasive
• No radiation
• Painless
• No contact with the body
• F.D.A. approved

This quick and easy test starts with your medical history being taken before you partially disrobe for the scanning to be performed.

Standard region of interest exams take approximately 15-30 minutes and a full body scan 30-45 minutes. Your printed report and audiotape is normally completed within 2 weeks.
