*NOTE: The Thermogram Center is not a treatment or diagnosing center. While these clients may have been imaged at The Thermogram Center with the images analyzed/interpreted by its interpretive service provider, any treatment and/or diagnoses obtained by the client were through his/her health provider(s).

Conspicuous Vascular Patterns and Estrogen Stimulation

Note the extensive vasodilation in the left image. The right image followed 3 months of nutritionally-based estrogen metabolism support.* Note the significant reduction in vasodilation, suggesting a decrease in estrogen stimulation. Her Hormonal Grade decreased from 3 to 1. For more information on this subject, please visit the "Understanding Estrogen Stimulation and Hormonal Grades" page.

Your interpretive report includes a thermobiological risk rating for each breast (For more information on this subject, please visit the "Understanding Thermobiological Risk" page.) and a Hormonal grade to assess the level of vascular dilation, which increases with estrogen stimulation in the breasts. This information may be important given that excess estrogen stimulation creates more favorable conditions for tumor development and because breast tissue can hold many times more estrogen than levels revealed in typical blood tests.

Birth Control Pills and Estrogen Stimulation

This 38 year old client had no breast complaints, but had previously used birth control pills for 15 years. While she had not used birth control pills for about a year, her Hormonal Grade is 4, consistent with stimulation by estrogen as seen during lactation.

Without her imaging, the client would not have been aware of her estrogen stimulation and associated risk. She is now considering treatment to reduce her breast estrogen stimulation.*

Thermal Imaging Helps Clients Obtain Breast Cancer Diagnoses in Spite of Normal Mammograms

This 35 year-old client had a normal mammogram the month prior to thermal imaging. With a thermal imaging report including high thermobiological risk in the right breast, the client requested a biopsy and discovered Stage I cancer with a 1cm lump, a second smaller lump, and lymph node involvement. Chemotherapy was initiated.*

While this client's mammogram and ultrasound were normal, her thermal imaging indicated highest thermobiological risk, TH5, in the left breast. Her doctor subsequently ordered an MRI, which led to surgery and a breast cancer diagnosis.*

Thermal Imaging Helps Client Decide on Course of Action

After being diagnosed with breast cancer*, this 31 year old opted for non-surgical treatment. The top images reveal the blood supply supporting the cancer shortly after diagnosis by biopsy.

The middle images reveal the blood supply supporting the cancer less than 6 weeks later. Because the client suspected the tumor was growing and because of the obvious increase in its blood supply, she decided to follow the advise of her breast doctor and obtain a mastectomy.

Nearly three months later, and after her mastectomy, she continues to use thermal imaging to monitor the remaining chest wall and breast.

This client and her doctor were considering biopsy of a suspicious mammographic finding in the location of the arrow at left. The TH rating for this left breast was TH 2 (low risk) while the right breast was TH 4+ (between high and highest risk). They decided not to conduct the biopsy and have shifted their focus to the right breast. Since there are no mammographic findings in the right breast, they have initiated intervention strategies and are monitoring this breast for change with the hope that early intervention may reverse her risk.

Other Breast Cancer Examples

These thermal images are of clients already diagnosed with breast cancer. The left images indicate the highest temperatures in black, while the right images indicate the highest temperatures in orange, yellow, and white.

The top images are of a client with inflammatory breast cancer in the upper left breast. The bottom images are of a client with a 2mm cancer in the lower left breast. Do you see the extensive blood supply to these areas?

Breast Fibrocyst Example

This thermogram is of a 47 year old client already diagnosed with a simple fibrocyst in the upper left breast. The thermal finding at left (as indicated by the white arrow) is consistent with inflammation that can be associated with such a cyst. Note the absence of "hypervascularity" which typically accompanies active breast cancers.

Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) and Diabetes*

This 53 year old female suffered three auto accidents and complained of chronic back and limb pain with foot pain upon rising. Various thermal images indicated focal hot zones over C6, C7, C8 with loss of associated dermatomes, thermal findings consistent with CRPS. While she had never been tested for diabetes, the classic “bite marks” in the fingers/thermal images suggest the need for further evaluation.*

Before and After Treatment: Bulging Disc, L5/S1 Nerve Root Irritation:

This 39 year old female’s complaints included right posterolateral thigh pain. The right lumbosacral "hockeystick" sign in the left image is consistent with a disc bulge at this level. There is correlation with mild cooling seen over the L5/S1. Following treatment with her own provider, the client reported no pain and her post treatment image, above right, no longer includes the "hockeystick" sign.

Ascending Colon 8 months prior to Appendix Rupture

These images are abdominal views from a 38 year old female with no abdominal complaints or concerns. The image at left indicates heat along the ascending colon consistent with irritation/inflammation. Months later, she reported that her appendix had ruptured, formed an abcess, and poisoned much of her ascending colon. Was the left image an early warning sign?

The middle image was taken months after the surgery to remove the abcess and approximately 9 inches of ascending colon. No signs of heat along the colon appear. The right image was taken many months later, and indicates more heat (stress) over the ascending colon/transverse colon juncture than that of the transverse colon/descending colon juncture. Since the temperature difference between junctures is small, the finding is not clinically significant, but thermal imaging may provide a way to monitor thermal findings.

Right Kidney Stress

This client reports that she does not drink enough water. In addition to the neuromuscular findings in the upper back, there are thermal findings (increased temperatures) over the field of the right kidney, consistent with slight stress.

Lung Field Examples: Stress vs. Compromise

The client imaged at left, above, has increased temperatures over each lung field, as indicated in red. Also note the same over the left bronchial tube. This client had complaints of congestion, which can cause stress, irritation, and inflammation, and subsequent heat.

The client imaged at right, above, had decreased temperatures over each lung field, as indicated in green. This client's history included pneumonia in her distant past, and bronchitis twice in the past year. The thermal findings are consistent with slight compromise of lung function - less heat can suggest less function, relative to surrounding tissue and organs.

Skin Concern and Need for Further Evaluation

This 58 year old female was monitoring an irregular skin spot on the top of her left thigh. Thermal imaging revealed heat associated at the spot. Since heat can suggest concern, she decided to visit a dermatologist for further evaluation.

Fibromyalgia / Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

This client had a 15 year history of fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome. Note the multiple focal regions of increased heat consistent with myofascial pathology and correlating with the client's areas of tenderness and pain.      - Courtesy of Dr. William Amalu

Stage 1 RSD / CRPS:

This client had severe regional pain, altered skin temperature and color changes, and severe sensitivity to touch in the left arm for over 6 months. The large area of heat loss in the left arm is consistent with serious sympathetic hyperactivity and supports her doctor's diagnosis of stage 1 RSDS/CRPS.

Abnormal Vascular Finding - Client Suspects Mesothelioma

The vascular finding in the thoracic region of this 53 year old male may indicate an abnormal vascular process and/or a pathological process in the spine or lungs. It was strongly recommended that the client see his primary care physician for further testing, i.e. CT.

Client already Diagnosed with Lung Cancer before Thermal Imaging

This female client had already been diagnosed with lung cancer before being thermal imaged. Can you see the blood supply that may be associated with the cancer?

Thermal Signs Consistent with Dental Infection

This 72 year old male had experienced innumerable root canals and decades of dental work which was completed in 1998. In 2007 he suffered a heart attack.

When thermally imaged in 2009, he was free of symptoms or concerns for his teeth and therefore surprised when his thermal imaging revealed signs consistent with dental issues and infection.

Since certain dental infections can lead to heart attacks, these findings are significant and potentially crucial to his longevity.

Thermal Signs Warranting Further Evaluation

This female had no concerns regarding her oral health. Note the significant heat/thermal finding at "B", which is consistent with an active lymph node, among other things. In the event of an underlying tooth infection, she sought dentistry to determine the cause of this finding. Dental xray of tooth #18 indicated abnormality at "C", consistent with infection. This tooth had previously undergone root canal and was crowned. Months of treatment to improve the health of the tooth proved unsuccessful, and the tooth was extracted. After extraction, a contributing factor/likely cause of infection was observed: a long/vertical fracture/crack at "D". Note the soft tissue infection between the roots on the opposite side of the tooth at "E".

With some tooth infections, thermal findings can be an early warning sign. Because each tooth is connected to other body parts/organs, and infections can travel to these body parts/organs, it is important to not have tooth infections. For instance, some tooth infections can cause heart attacks; there are four teeth connected by meridian to the heart. (Click here to see a Tooth+Organ Chart.) As far as this client knows, she removed the infection at tooth #18 before it impacted corresponding body parts, including her left lung and large intestine.

Thermal Signs Consistent with Dental Infection

This 54 year old female reported depleting energy levels and concern for developing auto-immune disorders if the source of her chronic fatigue could not be resolved.

Her thermal imaging revealed signs consistent with potential dental issues and infection with lymphatic involvement/drainage into the chest. Note the excess heat and thermal patterns along the left chest. While her follow-up tests were normal for the breast, her dentist diagnosed 2 cavitations in her right jaws - in wisdom teeth sockets where the teeth had been extracted twenty years earlier.

Since chronic infections can compromise the immune system and overall health, she is now working to resolve this known source of infection.

Tooth Connected to Lung Issue?

This male had experienced pulmonary embolisms weeks prior to full-body imaging, which consisted of 24+ images. While most of the images were absent of findings, the thermal findings in his anterior neck view are consistent with oral infection with lymphatic drainage from the left lower jaw. The client reported that he had a tooth worked on there in recent months, but that it still "wasn't right". (The tooth is energetically linked (by meridian) to the lungs.)

Thermal Signs + Symptoms Lead to Scrutiny, Diagnosis, and Treatment

This 45 year old female had a complaint with an upper right front tooth. Her dental hygienist indicated that all was well.

During an imaging appointment in 2008, thermal findings consistent with mild oral infection were revealed.

Still symptomatic and armed with her thermal imaging report, she requested that her dentist conduct a thorough exam.

The dentist found that the tooth was cracked and that infection had developed under the tooth that required care and a crown.

She later reported that the tooth feels much better.

Infection/Inflammation Resolved

Regarding the top and bottom images at left:

• This 51 year old female had no symptoms in the teeth, mouth, cheek, sinuses, or head.

• Imaging revealed temperatures 3.95ºC warmer on the left cheek than on the right cheek.

• This thermal pattern was consistent with infection/inflammation, and prompted the client to consult her ENT (Ear, Nose and Throat Doctor) who prescribed oral antibiotics.

Regarding the top and bottom images at right:

• One month later, the images on the right resulted, consistent with resolution.

• Note the change in cheek patterns, going from very asymmetrical to relatively symmetrical in just one month’s time.

3-month Old Root Canal

This female had a 3 month old root canal. A thermal image at month 6 revealed a reduced focal hot zone, consistent with a healing process rather than an infection process.

Can you see the red area near/under the right side of her mouth?

Symmetrical Pattern - Thyroid

Can you see the thermal patterns associated with this client's thyroid?    

Surprise:

This female’s complaint included pain. Thermal imaging led to discovery of a previously undiagnosed right leg arteriovenous malformation over 27mm deep. As a result, the client was spared a sympathectomy. Vascular surgery corrected the problem.*      - Courtesy of Hooshang Hooshmand, M.D.
