When you arrive, we’ll take you back to our scan room where you’ll be given a gown to change into. This will allow your body to adjust to the temperature of the room. For a Breast Study, you’ll remove your clothing from the waist up, along with all jewelry. We’ll also provide a rubber band for your hair if we need to have you pull your hair up. For a Full Body or Health Study, we’ll ask you to remove all jewelry and clothing, except your underwear.
After you have changed, your thermographer will review the forms that you brought in, ensuring that we accurately understand what you’ve written. We’ll also ask about any areas of concern that you might have. Your thermography session will involve taking several images and your clothing will need to be removed while the images are taken. During this time, we will need you to be very still while the image is taken but you will be able to relax between scans.
Please understand that any interpretation or information about what we “see” will come in your written report from our medical doctors who will interpret the images.
How long will my appointment last?
The length of your appointment will be determined by what type of study you choose. A Breast Study takes approximately 15-20 minutes, a Women's Health Study takes approximately 30-40 minutes, and a Full Body Study takes approximately 40-50 minutes.
How will I receive my results?
You will receive your report via email approximately 2-4 days after your appointment. The report will include all of the images taken, along with a written report from our interpreting doctor.
Once you have received your report, we are available to review this with you to make sure that you understand the report. You are more than welcome to contact us to schedule this review.
