Medical Thermology
Medical Thermology is a diagnostic technique that uses infrared imaging to detect temperature variations in the body. This method is based on the principle that abnormal tissue, such as inflamed or diseased areas, often has different thermal patterns compared to healthy tissue. By capturing these temperature differences, healthcare professionals can identify potential health issues without invasive procedures.
The images produced by thermography can assist in diagnosing various conditions, including breast cancer, vascular disorders, and inflammatory diseases. While it is not a standalone diagnostic tool, it can complement other imaging techniques and help in monitoring treatment progress.
