The Truth About Breast Thermography
Breast thermography is a clinical diagnostic procedure which uses highly specialized infra red cameras to measure the heat coming from the body, in this case, the breast. Thermography has been approved for this purpose for many years by the US FDA (United States Food and Drug Administration) and in the past two years (2001-2002) many new doctors and technicians have entered the field.

Thermal Imaging Cameras in Airports
After the outbreak of SARS flu outbreak a few years ago, several major airports in Asia discovered the benefits of utilizing infrared thermal imaging camera technology. The Thermal cameras are an effective way to implicate infrared surveillance and virus monitoring in order to control the spread by travelers of the new H1N1 virus- commonly known as the swine flu.

Thermal Cameras in Modern Medicine
Cancer is said to be a dangerous disease; however it is not necessary that all cancer patients die, as with the timely detection and treatment it is possible to survive from cancer. Today medical science has turned to technology to help them detect cancer cells and prevent its spread which is made possible through infrared cameras. Read the Full Story
Mammography vs Thermography
According to the CDC, breast cancer is the second most common cancer among women and is one of the top ten causes of death among women in the United States. These numbers are frightening and early and accurate detection is vital in order to catch the disease in its early stages and begin lifesaving treatment. There are different methods that are used to detect breast cancer but not all of these methods can give the early detection that is required in order to save lives.

Infrared Technology helps the POWERMEDIC™
 This is the only FDA cleared Laser device specifically cleared for wound healing!
The tool uses a laser to help with problems such as Arthritis, Inflammation, Epicondylitis, Myofascial pain, and Wound healing. The tool promotes healing and is CE certified and FDA cleared for relieving carpal tunnel syndrome and pain relief.
ICI’s infrared (IR) cameras captured these images that further prove the efficacy of the laser.
In this Infrared thermal image; the laser is powered on and is seen by the red concentrated red dot on the patient arm. Notice how the red is spreading across the patients arm. The red indicates a heat increase compared to the cooler yellows greens and even cooler blues that define light/heat energy on a thermal spectrum scale.
 This is the next Infrared thermal image; Observe how the red dot has become a larger concentrated red spot on the skin and warmer surrounding areas as well proving the device functions as claimed.
The POWERMEDIC™ applications include:
• Physiotherapy
• Chiropractic
• Dentistry
• Veterinary
• General practice
• Wound care
• Dermatology Beauty treatments
• Acupuncture.
A larger version of the device is currently in development. The device is a lay down configuration but covers more area of the body at once. The device is currently under trials for FDA approval. |
