Thermography is a technique wherein an infrared camera photographically portrays the body’s surface temperature, based on self-emanating infrared radiation; sometimes used as a means of diagnosing underlying pathologic conditions, such as breast tumors.

I have wanted to have a thermographic scan since I first heard of them. The concept really excited the scientist in me. But I also believe my intuition spoke to me. Sadly, I didn’t take the time to find a place that offered this service. The result is not usually good when I ignore my intuition.

That being said, I believe thermography should be mandatory for every person as part of their annual physical check-up. I’m just blown away at what I learned.

The picture below is a thermal picture of my head. As you can see, the color in the picture isn’t exactly symmetrical. On the right side of my head, the left side of the picture, you can see more red areas, or more areas generating heat. In particular there is a red spot where a tooth is located. It appears that I have an infection in my tooth, gum or jaw. Crazy. And potentially very dangerous.

I went to see Angel Marlow at Texas Thermal Imaging (https://thermalimagingtexas.com/) and had my first image taken on August 2, 2017. For more information see this blog post.
