Thermography - Reset Lounge

The Thermography Scan and Report

The appointment takes place in a relaxed, peaceful, and private room. The room air may feel cool as we adjust to room temperature before scanning. You will be lightly robed during the cooling process (about ten minutes). During the examination you will disrobe in areas being scanned for both imaging purposes and to allow for the surface temperature of the body to acclimate with the room.

Obtaining a thermographic image is like having your picture taken. There is no direct contact between you and the camera. There is no radiation, no injection, nothing to drink. The procedure is totally non-invasive and the camera does not emit radiation of any kind.

Your Individualized Report

Your images are uploaded through a secure server and reviewed by a licensed medical doctor who provides an interpretation of your thermography results. This interpretive report is intended to complement, not replace, your ongoing medical care and any evaluations recommended by your primary healthcare provider.

Once completed, the report is forwarded to you and any other health care practitioner you request. If you have questions or concerns after receiving your results, we’re here to help you understand your report and support you in discussing it with your healthcare provider, so you can make informed choices about your next steps.

A color printed report and images are generally available within 3–7 business days. Your images will be read by Dr. Gregory Melvin, who is trained and certified to interpret thermograms by the American College of Clinical Thermography. Dr. Melvin will analyze your images and provide a written interpretation, which may include general wellness-oriented suggestions to discuss with your healthcare provider. These insights are meant to support you in exploring options for maintaining your well-being and addressing potential areas of concern in partnership with your medical team.

Many guests choose to establish a baseline with an initial scan and then schedule follow-up scans over time to monitor for changes. The timing and frequency of any repeat scans are personal decisions that are best made in collaboration with your healthcare provider, based on your individual needs and medical history.

Digital Infrared Thermal Imaging (DITI) is sometimes used as an adjunctive tool for monitoring breast health, but it is not a standalone screening test and is not a substitute for mammography or other standard medical evaluations. No screening method can guarantee early detection of breast disease. Any thermography findings should be reviewed with your healthcare provider, who can recommend appropriate follow-up and clinically validated screening options.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Thermography?

Thermography is a non-invasive imaging procedure that uses a specialized electronic camera to capture infrared (heat) patterns on the surface of the skin. It can reveal temperature patterns and asymmetries, which are not, by themselves, a diagnosis and may or may not be associated with an underlying health condition. Any findings should be reviewed and interpreted by a qualified healthcare professional in the context of your overall health picture.

Thermography has been explored in medical research as a supportive tool in evaluating temperature-related patterns that may be associated with certain conditions, including:

Examples of areas where thermographic patterns may provide adjunctive information for a healthcare professional include:

Certain peripheral nervous system–related concerns
Certain metabolic conditions
Repetitive strain–related concerns
Headaches, neck, and back discomfort
TMJ (temporomandibular joint)–related concerns
Dental and sinus–related inflammation
Some chronic pain syndromes, such as fibromyalgia or myositis
Some forms of arthritis and vascular concerns (for example, Raynaud’s phenomenon)
Soft tissue injuries

Thermography is not a stand‑alone diagnostic test for these or any other conditions, but may offer additional visual information for your healthcare provider to consider.

Thermal patterns can sometimes be seen in situations where there may be changes in circulation or nervous system regulation, such as with some soft tissue injuries, certain vascular and musculoskeletal conditions, or areas of inflammation. These visual patterns are not specific to any one diagnosis and cannot confirm or rule out conditions such as diabetes, peripheral vascular disease, osteoarthritis, breast implant rupture, stroke, thyroid or gallbladder issues, liver inflammation, lymph congestion, melanoma, or any other disease. Any thermography findings should always be evaluated together with your symptoms, medical history, and appropriate clinical testing by your healthcare provider.

Clinical correlation is always required—thermography findings are just one piece of information and should be interpreted alongside a thorough medical evaluation and any other tests your healthcare provider recommends.
