Thermal Imaging - New Light on Sexual Dysfunctions

Since the early days of documented medicine, physicians have relied on temperature change as an important indication of health or illness. However, while doctors are aware of the physiological and temperature changes that accompany illness and injury, they are unable to measure these physiological signals using imaging modalities such as x-ray and ultrasound, which provide anatomical images of the body’s structure.

With the breakthrough of medical science, Thermal Imaging, a FDA-cleared infrared imaging system, would allow medical professionals to “see” the physiological and temperature changes that could indicate soft-tissue injuries or pain syndromes. Using the thermal imaging, medical professionals are able to detect and analyze heat patterns in the body by measuring the infrared energy radiated by the skin surface. With this information, they can tailor their treatment to affected areas. Thermal Imaging combines a real-time, highly sensitive infrared camera with sophisticated proprietary software.
 
Thermal imaging is often used as a pre- and post-treatment evaluation if the chosen course of treatment has been effective. Finally, thermal imaging not only displays and analyzes the physiological images, but it stores them for analysis in future appointments with patients requiring long-term treatment. Best of all, thermal imaging is painless, non-invasive, and radiation-free.

Thermal Imaging has earned its high marks in improving the accuracy of breast imaging, especially in distinguishing benign breast conditions from breast cancer. It scans the tissue for the temperature differences that might indicate a growing tumor. Recent concerns over the sensitivity of standard x-ray mammography images and the competency of the human readers have underscored the need for better tests. Recent successful applications of Thermal Imaging have been applied to clinical studies for the advancement of Chinese Medicine.

Published studies from AmeriCare Medical Center at California, has shown the effectiveness of herbal blend formulations that improve sexual dysfunction known as Youth Impotence suffered by many young adults. Thermal imaging has demonstrated that these natural remedies can help patients that suffer from a venous leak or thin arteries or vessels that constrict blood flow to the penis tissues by dramatically improving the blood circulation toward the genital area.
