Thermography

Christina LeBoeuf is a member of IAMT, The Institute for the Advancement of Medical Thermography. She has 15 years experience as a Medical Thermographer.
Medical Thermography is available 3 days a week.
After the imaging appointment, your health history is sent with the images to a Medical Doctor for a detailed evaluation. It is then returned to our office in 3-5 business days, at which time the report will be emailed to you as a PDF. Christina LeBoeuf offers a FREE 15 minute followup consultation to review your results and offer natural therapies, supplements and necessary referrals to correct any imbalances (each additional 15 minutes is billed at $30).

What is Thermography?

Thermography is a non-invasive diagnostic technique that converts infrared radiation emitted from the skin surface into electrical impulses that are visualized in color. The spectrum of colors indicate an increase or decrease in the amount of infrared radiation being emitted from the body surface. Medical Thermography can graphically display and record the subjective feeling of pain by objectively displaying the changes in skin surface temperature that are produced by pain states. Medical Thermography’s major clinical value is in its high sensitivity to pathology in the vascular, muscular, neural and skeletal systems and as such can contribute to a diagnosis by the clinician.

List Of What Thermography Can Assist In Detecting And Example Images

Frequently asked questions:

Q. Who certifies your thermographers?
A. Thermography technicians are trained and certified by the IAMT and the American College of Clinical Thermology.

Q. Who reads the images and reports?
A. Images are sent to an interpretation service who employ medical doctors who are all board certified as thermologists. These doctors have many years experience and are able to ask for second opinions whenever necessary.

Q. How quickly will I get my report back?
A. Reports are normally ready within 3-5 days. You may collect your report when it is ready or allow for mailing time. If you need your report within 24 hours you can pay an ‘urgent’ fee.

Q. Why do I need to come back in three months for another breast study?
A. The most accurate result we can produce is change over time. Before we can start to evaluate any changes, we need to establish an accurate and stable baseline for you. This baseline represents your unique thermal fingerprint, which will only be altered by developing pathology. A baseline cannot be established with only one study, as we would have no way of knowing if this is your normal pattern or if it is actually changing at the time of the first exam. By comparing two studies three months apart we are able to judge if your breast physiology is stable and suitable to be used as your normal baseline and safe for continued annual screening. The reason a three-month interval is used relates to the period of time it takes for blood vessels to show change…… a period of time less than three months may miss significant change…….. a period of time much more than three months can miss significant change that may have already taken place. There is NO substitute for establishing an accurate baseline. A single study cannot do this.
