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.

What is DITI?
Digital infrared thermal imaging is a totally non-invasive clinical
imaging procedure for detecting and monitoring a number of diseases
and physical injuries, by showing the thermal abnormalities
present in the body. |
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.
