Thermo scan

Introduction1) Thermo scan is a noninvasive diagnostic technique that allows the examiner to

visualise and quantify changes in skin surface temperature.2) Thermo scan clinical value is in its high sensitivity to pathology in the vascular,

muscular, neural and skeletal systems and as such can contribute to the pathogenesis and diagnosis made by the clinician.

3) Thermo scan is a device that convert infrared radiation emitted from the skin surface into electrical impulses that are visualised in colour on a monitor. This visual image graphically maps the body temperature and is referred to as a thermogram. The spectrum of colours indicate an increase or decrease in the amount of infrared radiation being emitted from the body surface. Since there is a high degree of thermal symmetry in the normal body, subtle abnormal

temperature asymmetry's can be easily identified.

Clinical Implications

Early diagnosis of conditions like cancers

Diagnosing and Imaging pain

Diagnosing abnormal physiological processes due to diseases and injuries.

Statistics of CRPS patients response to symapthectomy

• 49 (98%) out of the diagnosed 50 patients had significant decline in recurrent pains after CRPS treatment post thermographic diagnosis.

Breast Cancer

15

Statistics

• In our study of 100 cases with breast lumps, where pathological biopsy have been performed.

• 72 of then were confirmed to have cancer and among the 72, 69 were identified by thermoscan as having cancer hotspots above 1.5 degree centigrade yielding 96% sensitivity.
