Half Body Scans

The half body scan is our most popular scan. Many women choose to upgrade to this scan as a part of their yearly breast assessment. It is typically performed on the upper half of the body, and includes the head, neck, breasts, stomach, back, arms, and hands. This scan provides a wealth of information that can help you target the root cause of many issues.

Per Scan

You may opt to have a half or full body scan in place of your annual breast screen. A 90-day breast screening follow-up is still required to complete your baseline after your initial exam. For details about the complete breast package, see breast thermography.  

Preparing for your Half Body Thermogram

  • For 24 hours prior to your scan – avoid heavy exercise, acupuncture, massage, sauna or steam rooms.
  • For 2 hours prior to your scan - avoid exercise and hot or cold showering. Do not shave under your arms or use deodorant, skin creams or lotion in the areas to be imaged. Avoid sun exposure the day of the test. For best result, you should not have had a sun burn or have used a tanning booth within a week of your test.
  • Please wear loose fitting clothing the day of your scan. Your scan will be delayed until irritation marks from tight fitting clothing have dissipated.
  • No changes in diet or medication are necessary.

Note: you must wait 3 months after major breast surgery, chemotherapy or radiation before having a breast scan, and at least 1 month after a biopsy or minor surgery, such as mole removal, for results to be accurate.

 

 

 

 

 

 

What to Expect

You will be asked to remove all upper body clothing and jewelry. We will supply you with a lightweight cover to wear for privacy while you acclimate to the room’s temperature. Prior to your scan, we will review your intake form with you. Please be sure to inform us of any recent skin lesions that may affect your results. Thermal images of your upper half body will then be taken (unless other regions requested). Following your scan, we will review your images with you and answer any questions you may have. Your scans will be sent to a physician for interpretation. Reports are normally back within 48 hours and will be securely e-mailed to you (unless alternate method requested).

You are welcome to bring a companion or partner to be present during your examination and image review.
