Digital Infrared Thermal Imaging N


ow is the time when many people begin to focus on their New Year’s


resolutions. These annual ambitions often involve setting personal, fi nancial or fi tness goals. But if your intentions for 2011 center around health and wellness, Digital Infrared Thermal Im- aging (DITI) can help you monitor your progress. That DITI has become a well-rec-


ognized screening modality in the area of breast health screening/monitoring is due in large part to Christiane Northrup, M.D.: however, DITI can also be used for whole body screening. This is ben- efi cial for people who want to establish a health baseline before embarking on lifestyle modifi cations or any treatment protocols. It can also pin-point areas that may need further investigation due to infl ammation or other physiological abnor- malities, or simply teach people who are interested in fi nding out more about the physiology (function) of their bodies. DITI uses no radiation, requires no contact with the body, and is completely


non-invasive. Scans are interpreted by MDs; fi ndings from initial scans are later compared with follow-up thermal studies in order to monitor a patient’s progress, helping to determine if the patient is moving toward or away from health. Extensive written reports are provided that can be shared with other health practitioners.
