Medical Digital Infrared Thermal Imaging (DITI)
Prevent Heart Disease & Stroke
DITI also has valuable applications as an early warning indicator of heart disease, especially atherosclerosis, before it produces a devastating heart attack or stroke. By identifying those at risk early enough, effective and non invasive corrective actions can be taken.
Patient with elevated C-Reactive Protein, an early risk indication for heart disease
Patient with an advanced infection in mitral valve, detected with Thermal Imaging
A thermographic image clearly shows areas of diminished energy and blood flow in specific arteries or around the heart. DITI can also detect inflammatory patterns along the carotid arteries, which alongside elevated C - Reactive Protein levels in the blood confirms the presence of an internal inflammatory process. There is increasing evidence now to show that inflammation hidden deep in the body is a common trigger of heart attacks or even predictor of such risk. Screening is important because such internal inflammation can be readily lowered in many ways.
