How Does Thermal Imaging Work.

The camera of choice by Sunstate Thermal Imaging is specifically designed for thermal imaging of the human body in the clinic situation. The camera captures a thermal picture of body heat and displays the thermal patterns on a computer screen in the form of a digital image for analysis.
What happens is the cells of your body produce heat through their normal day to day activity. Abnormal and diseased cells usually produce much more heat in their early development and that is long before an anatomical marker, which can be seen by mammmography.
Before the onset of most abnormal growth, suspect cells will stimulate new blood vessels to grow, reopen unused blood vessels and maintain those blood vessels already in use.
Some of these diseases build extensive network of blood vessels in the area it will begin to grow. Some diseases need more blood flow than normal cells to support their rapid growth. Very simply, where there is more blood, there is more heat. Thermal Imaging examiners take particular note of these "hot spots" which can often be the earliest warning signs of sinister activity. This activity has been shown to begin many years before anatomical change, and before any warning signs can be given by other screening methods.
