Thermography in Milwaukee, WI & Waukesha, WI

What is Thermography?

Thermography, also called digital infrared thermal imaging (DITI), is a non-invasive imaging technique that captures temperature patterns on the surface of the skin. Using infrared technology, it provides a visual map of heat variations that may help support a broader understanding of physiological changes in the body.

Thermography does not diagnose or detect disease, but it may be used as an adjunctive tool to observe thermal patterns that can be further evaluated by a licensed healthcare provider.

Benefits of Thermography
  • Non-invasive: No radiation, compression, or physical contact.
  • Comfortable: A gentle, imaging-only process.
  • Physiological Insight: May help identify temperature patterns for further clinical discussion.
  • Ongoing Monitoring: Can be used over time to monitor changes when clinically appropriate.
Thermography is not a replacement for medically indicated diagnostic tests

Thermography Services Offered

Breast Thermography (Adjunctive Use Only)

Breast thermography uses infrared imaging to identify surface temperature patterns in breast tissue.
This technique:
  • Offers a radiation-free, non-invasive look at thermal symmetry.
  • May be used as an adjunctive tool to support breast health discussions.
  • Is not a substitute for mammography or any physician-recommended screening.
Important:
Thermography is not FDA-approved as a standalone breast cancer screening tool.

Musculoskeletal Thermography

Musculoskeletal thermography may help visualize heat patterns that can support evaluation of:
  • Areas of thermal asymmetry
  • Changes associated with physical strain
  • Regions of discomfort or imbalance
  • Patterns that may relate to certain musculoskeletal concerns
This technique does not diagnose injuries or disease, but may help guide further clinical assessment when appropriate.

Full Body Thermography

A full-body thermograph offers a broad view of temperature variations across multiple regions.

It may be used as a supportive tool for:
  • Monitoring general physiological patterns
  • Tracking temperature changes over time
  • Complementing a provider’s overall assessment
It does not diagnose systemic disease.

Pediatric Thermography

Thermography is non-invasive and may be considered for children when clinicians want a radiation-free option to observe temperature patterns on the skin.

May support evaluation of:
  • Sports-related concerns
  • General thermal asymmetry
  • Physiological pattern changes
Again, this technique does not establish a diagnosis.

Understanding What Thermography Shows

Thermography records infrared heat emitted from the body and converts it into digital images called thermograms. These images may highlight areas of increased or decreased heat, which clinicians may review as part of a broader health evaluation.

It is one piece of information, not a diagnostic test.

How Does a Thermography Session Work?

A session typically lasts 15–30 minutes and includes:
  1. A brief acclimation period in a temperature-controlled room.
  2. Non-contact infrared imaging of the selected body region(s).
  3. Review by a trained thermographer, with results discussed by your provider when relevant.
