A Positive Outlook
Please remember that whilst Thermal Imaging is an excellent screening tool for early
detection of underlying metabolic and physiological processes, it does not and cannot offer
a diagnosis. Only a tissue biopsy can give a definitive diagnosis.
Early detection of heat abnormalities allows for proactive and holistic healthcare
approaches to help reverse a potentially serious disease process.
We therefore encourage you to focus on these positive, proactive aspects. A snapshot into
the invisible energy world, Thermal Imaging provides us with images that help motivate us
to bring about basic lifestyle changes to reduce the toxic load on our body and encourage
the healing process. These changes can be demonstrated using comparative analysis with
Thermal Imaging over a period of time
THERMAL IMAGING - IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR PATIENTS
Please read this prior to your breast scan
About Thermal Imaging
Thermal Imaging is a safe, non invasive screening method which effectively screens for
changes in the physiology of breast tissue over time. It provides useful information about
inflammation, lymphatic, hormonal and vascular abnormality in the body.
This information leads to the justification of further tests, observations or maintenance. It
provides the opportunity for early intervention and preventative treatment.Thermal
Imaging uses an infrared camera with a sophisticated heat sensor to detect and distinguish
various temperatures found in the breast.
Preparation information: Getting the best scan picture
To ensure the best quality thermal scan, it is important to avoid anything that may heat
the body or irritate the skin surface on the day of the scan. Please read the guidelines
below and AVOID the following on the day of your scan:
ACTIVITY:
Smoking for 3 hours prior to the scan
Hot showers
Sunbathing
Shaving or waxing your underarms
DIET:
Using deodorant, antiperspirant, creams, lotions or hormone creams on the day of the
scan.
Physical therapy, such as massage, physiotherapy for 24 hours before the scan,
unless otherwise advised by a doctor or practitioner
Carrying heavy bags on your shoulder or have straps across the breast region under
the arms. Also avoid scratching or rubbing the skin surface, especially of the upper
body.
Hot drinks and food for 3 hours prior to screening
Alcohol
Caffeine
MEDICINE:
Where possible, do not take anti-inflammatory or anti-histamine medication.
However, a thermography examination should not stop you from taking your normal
medication. Please bring a list of your medication with you to the examination.
Please wait 3 – 4 months after radiation or surgery, including biopsies to have a
thermal scan.

THE PROCEDURE
Please note that all our thermographers are female.
Prior to the examination
You will be asked to complete a questionnaire. Please bring this completed questionnaire
with you. It is advisable to allow plenty of time for your travel to Harley Street so that
you have a few minutes before your scan to relax and allow your body temperature to cool
down. You are entitled to request a chaperone to be present at your Thermal Imaging
session. If you wish to bring your partner, friend or relative along, please do so.
What does the procedure involve?
You will be directed to a private room where a female thermographer will confirm details of
your case history with you. You will then be shown to a screened scanning area and will be
asked to remove your upper body clothing, jewellery and secure hair away from your neck.
Surgical gowns and hair clasps / nets are available for your comfort should you wish. The
thermographer will discuss the images to be taken.
Once your body temperature has stabilised after a few minutes, the images will be taken.
For the breast scans, 6 images are taken and you will be asked to clasp your hands behind
your head for a few seconds while each scan takes place.
At the end of the session, you will have the opportunity to look at the pictures briefly.
We allow 1 hour for the first scan and subsequent scans are just 30 minutes.
Report
Your scan report will normally be available during the week following your scan and it can
be sent to you by email in a pdf format or by post. If you need your scan results more
urgently, please discuss this with the Thermographer at the time of your scan. Additional
reports can be sent to your referring practitioner, on request.
Aftercare and Advice
If you have any questions about your report or would like some advice on what options are
available to you, please call the office and ask to speak to the Thermographer. Please note
that the Thermographer is not qualified to interpret your report. A telephone discussion
with Dr Daya may also be possible.
Please note that the DITI reports should not be used for self diagnosis. It is important to
discuss the results with a qualified practitioner.
Having a thermogram does not replace the possible need for an anatomical test such as
mammograms, ultrasounds and MRI’s at some time. The use of both methods of testing
gives the best possible opportunity for early detection.
If you would like any more information, please visit our website
www.wholisticmedical.co.uk or feel free to call the office on 020 7486 21 96 with any other
questions.
We look forward to meeting you soon.
