What is Medical Thermography?
Medical thermography is a non-invasive, radiation-free imaging technique that assesses physiological function by detecting skin temperature variations. This advanced screening tool enables trained thermologists to identify areas of **inflammation, vascular changes, and metabolic activity** that may indicate underlying health concerns. Physicians often use thermography alongside other diagnostic methods to gain a comprehensive understanding of a patient’s health.
Unlike structural imaging such as X-rays and MRIs, thermography focuses on functional changes within the body. By capturing **subtle temperature variations**, this technique provides **early insights into physiological activity**, often before symptoms manifest.
