What is Digital Infrared Thermal Imaging?
Digital Infrared Thermal Imaging, or DITI, is a totally non-invasive, painless procedure with no radiation and no contact with the body.
It uses an infrared camera with a highly accurate heat sensor to detect differences in temperature in the body. The body’s temperature is displayed graphically in different colours on a screen. Normally, the body’s temperature is symmetrical but abnormalities, injuries and pathologies change the temperature of the surrounding tissue and these differences are clearly visible on the scan.
DITI can help:
To help in determining the cause of pain. To aid in the early detection of disease and pathology To evaluate sensory-nerve irritation or significant soft-tissue injury To define a previously diagnosed injury or condition To identify an abnormal area for further diagnostic testing To follow progress of healing and rehabilitation.
