Thermography is a breast health risk assessment tool for health-conscious individuals which utilizes state-of-the art, U.S. Food and Drug Administration-cleared technology to provide an image of the body’s physiologic responses. Thermography is a totally safe, non-radiologic, non-invasive, painless test with no compression, radiation or injections and absolutely no known adverse effects. This study is safe for women of all ages. It allows women to maintain their dignity while being proactive in their health and wellness concerns. 

Thermography detects the physiologic changes in the breast tissue that have been shown to correlate with cancerous or pre-cancerous states. Since thermal imaging detects changes at the cellular level, studies suggest that this test can detect abnormal activity years before any other test. The earliest possible indication of abnormalities allows for the earliest possible intervention. The American Cancer Society among many others has noted the great increase in false positive mammograms leading to 800,000 unnecessary biopsies a year in this country alone. Utilizing thermography to measure breast physiology, we are able to look at “hot spots” in potential areas of concern, the absence of which reduces suspicion and the need for invasive intervention. 

Thermography can also look at the thyroid, dental and sinus regions. Research has shown that dental infections are responsible for a variety of ailments such as heart disease, thyroid dysfunction and breast cancer. There has been tremendous success in identifying dental infections which has enabled individuals to obtain intervention and vastly improve their overall health.  

Thermography offers a non-invasive, non-radiologic measurement of thyroid physiology. When performing thyroid thermography, practitioners look for significant temperature asymmetry between the lobes or a temperature variation between the thyroid gland and its surrounding structures.  

Thermographic Diagnostic Imaging (TDI) was established in 1982 by Philip Getson, DO, a board-certified Thermologist, to provide superior quality infrared imaging of the breast, neuromuscular system, thyroid, dental and sinus regions. Dr. Getson interprets all of the images for TDI. Liesha Getson is a board-certified Thermography Technician since 2004 and a Reiki Master. 

Getson will lead a free roundtable discussion on the uses of thermography at the   
Holistic Health and Healing Expo at 12:30 p.m. on October 16 at the Westin Hotel at 555 Fellowship Rd., Mt. Laurel, New Jersey.
