Thermo scan- A Device for detection of Inflammatory Pain, Vascular Imaging and
Breast Cancer detection.

Thermo scan
Introduction1) Thermo scan is a noninvasive diagnostic technique that allows the examiner to
visualise and quantify changes in skin surface temperature.2) Thermo scan clinical value is in its high sensitivity to pathology in the vascular,
muscular, neural and skeletal systems and as such can contribute to the pathogenesis and diagnosis made by the clinician.
3) Thermo scan is a device that convert infrared radiation emitted from the skin surface into electrical impulses that are visualised in colour on a monitor. This visual image graphically maps the body temperature and is referred to as a thermogram. The spectrum of colours indicate an increase or decrease in the amount of infrared radiation being emitted from the body surface. Since there is a high degree of thermal symmetry in the normal body, subtle abnormal
temperature asymmetry's can be easily identified.

Clinical Implications
Early diagnosis of conditions like cancers
Diagnosing and Imaging pain
Diagnosing abnormal physiological processes due to diseases and injuries.

Potential Application areas
• Rheumatology• Neurology• Oncology• Diabetes ( endocrinology)• Radiology• Orthopaedics• Sports medicine• Physiotherapy etc

Diabetic foot care
• Diabetic foot problem is the most common reason for patient admissions to hospital worldwide.
• Diabetic foot care is the most vital factor blood glucose control

With the help of Thermo scan of a Lesion or Wound we can easily find the stage of wound healing
Stage 1: Inflammatory Phase Stage 2: Proliferative Phase Stage 3: Epithelisation Phase Stage 4: Remodeling

Statistics of CRPS patients response to symapthectomy
• 49 (98%) out of the diagnosed 50 patients had significant decline in recurrent pains after CRPS treatment post thermographic diagnosis.
15
Statistics
• In our study of 100 cases with breast lumps, where pathological biopsy have been performed.
• 72 of then were confirmed to have cancer and among the 72, 69 were identified by thermoscan as having cancer hotspots above 1.5 degree centigrade yielding 96% sensitivity.
