Signature: DITI NP 042012 Today’s date: 4 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. DITI NP 042012 5 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. DITI NP 042012 6
