HOW DO I PREPARE FOR MY EXAM?

Exam Preparation

​

In preparation for your thermography session, we ask you to review the following pre-exam instructions and follow the ones that apply to the scan you will be having.  

​

​

These Pre-Thermography Scan Instructions will also be sent to you via Email when you make your appointment.

​

Following these instructions ensures the results of your scan will be accurate:

• No prolonged sun exposure 5 days prior to your appointment.

• No deodorant, antiperspirant, lotion, cream or make up on the day of the exam.

• No shaving or waxing on the day of the exam.

• If bathing, do so at least one hour or more prior to exam.

• No exercise 4 hours prior to your exam.

• No treatment (chiropractic, acupuncture, massage, physical therapy, electrical muscle stimulation, ultrasound, hot or cold pack use) of the neck, back, chest or breasts 24 hours before the exam.

• Please wear loose fitting clothes to your appointment.

• Please inform us when scheduling your appointment of any medical procedures you have had within the last 12 weeks that might affect the results of your thermogram.​

 

 

Please note: Surgical procedures, such as implants, reductions, and biopsies, do not interfere with infrared imaging. If you have copies of any other test results (e.g., mammograms, ultrasounds, or biopsies), please bring them with you.
