Thermography

What It Is

Thermography is a radiation-free imaging tool that uses heat detection to document temperature differences on the skin. It may help identify patterns worth discussing with your care team, but it is not a diagnostic tool and does not replace mammography, ultrasound, MRI, or other imaging your clinician recommends.
