Preparing for your Thermography
Preparation for your scan is simple but crucial to the accuracy of the results. Please be advised if you do not follow these simple guidelines the accuracy of your results will be compromised and we must schedule your exam for another time.
Before the Exam:
- Fill out the patient forms indicated and bring them with you to your appointment.
- No smoking for a minimum of 2 hours.
- No vigorous exercise 2 hours prior.
- No massage, chiropractic adjustments or physical therapy the day of the scan
- Avoid the application of ointments, creams or lotions, including but not limited to perfume and cologne.
- Avoid strong sunlight the day of and sunburn in the days preceding your appointment
- Remove all jewelry and earrings
- It is very important to wear loose fitting clothing. The thermography scan will be delayed until irritation marks in the skin caused by tightly fitting garments have dissipated.
At The Clinic: Arrive a few minutes early to your appointment. Your body will take some time
to adjust to the temperature of the clinic. After signing in with the receptionist, you will be given a gown to change into as you will be disrobing down to your underwear. You will meet your thermographer who will explain and demonstrate the required views and positions necessary
for your scan. Thermal images are then taken of either the whole body or just the regions of interest.
