Upon arrival to any imaging location*, you will be introduced to your Certified Clinical Thermographic Technician and to the steps of the imaging appointment: 15 Minute Acclimation: During this time, you will be alone in an environmentally controlled room to acclimate the surface of the skin to be imaged. The surface of the skin to be imaged must be free of clothing and jewelry during this step. Imaging Session: All imaging involves the client in a standing position in front of the thermal imaging camera and the technician in a seated position with her back to the client.
Approx. 5 minute debriefing/payment At your first imaging session, you will be provided with a DVD to take home. Because thermography is less understood by the public than technologies like mammography and ultrasound, you may find this this introductory education helpful. You are encouraged to watch it before receiving your interpretive report in the mail; it's purpose is to provide a basic understanding of how thermal imaging works, what the interpretive doctor looks for, and how thermobiological findings can be helpful to you and your health providers. At any imaging session, the self-help, breast health education book, "Better Breast Health - for Life!"™, with risk reduction strategies, will be available for purchase at a 20% discount. (This book is in no way a substitute for professional healthcare. Instead, it repeatedly recommends that readers "obtain qualified health provider(s) for consultation".) After each imaging session, you will be asked to provide a form of payment and advised that your report documentation will be mailed directly to you, typically within 7 days. (24 hour STAT reports are available upon request and require an additional charge.) Documentation includes interpretive report(s), all your images printed in B&W and in color, a "Guide to Understanding Breast Thermal Imaging Reports", and an accounting statement. If you were referred to The Thermogram Center by a doctor and would like a complimentary report to go to that doctor, one will be provided. Documentation Output; Here is what you can expect to receive in the mail following your imaging appointment: ● A cover letter recapping the imaging services at The Thermogram Center ● Thermal Imaging Report(s) ● Guide to Understanding Breast Thermogram Reports (breast imaging only) ● Black and white and color print-outs of all your images ● Financial Statement of Account
This documentation output is typically mailed to you, or, you can make arrangements to pick it up from an imaging location... the choice is yours. Please be sure to let us know of your preferences.
* Each imaging location is provided for a fee by an independently operated health provider with no connection to The Thermogram Center, Inc. Each location provides facilities and space without service supervision, client involvement, or medical liability. |
