Digital infrared thermal imaging is a totally non-invasive clinical procedure for detecting and monitoring a number of diseases and physical injuries, by showing the thermal abnormalities present in the body.

It is used as an aid for diagnosis and prognosis, as well as monitoring therapy progress, for conditions and injuries, including:

Meditherm Imaging use an advanced Medical Thermography Camera that converts infrared radiation emitted from the skin surface into electrical impulses that are visualized in colour. The spectrum of colours indicate an increase or decrease in the amount of these emissions. 

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. 

The major clinical value is in the high sensitivity to pathology in the vascular, muscular, neural and skeletal systems making it a very useful adjunctive procedure to other diagnostic tools.

• To localise an abnormal area not previously identified so further diagnostic tests can be performed.

• To define the extent of a lesion of which a diagnosis has previously been made.

• To detect early lesions before they are clinically evident.

• To monitor treatment and healing before the patient is returned to work or competition.

• Medical thermography is the only screening method available for visualizing pain and pathology.
