About Us
Digital Infrared Thermal Imaging
(DITI) Screening for Breast
Cancer, Carotid Artery Disease,
Deep Vein Thrombosis, Coronary Artery Disease, Back
Pain, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and many other medical
issues.
At New England Clinical Thermography we specialize in
the taking of digital infrared images, appropriate to
the condition, to help Physicians, Patients and other
practitioners identify problem conditions. Image interpretation
is by Medical Doctors (MDs) who are certified as interpreters
of Medical Infrared Images by the American College of
Clinical Thermography. Reports are provided to referring
physicians and/or patient as requested.
Infrared thermography cameras produce
images of invisible infrared or "heat" radiation and provide precise, non-contact temperature
measurement capabilities.
An infrared camera is a non-contact device
that detects infrared energy (heat) and converts it
into an electronic signal, which is then processed to
produce a thermal image on a video monitor and perform
temperature calculations. Heat sensed by an infrared
camera can be very precisely quantified, or measured,
allowing you to not only monitor thermal performance,
but also identify and evaluate the relative severity
of heat-related problems.
The camera does not
put out any radiation but measures the radiation
coming from an object/person.

Infrared Imaging is used for Medical,
Veterinary, Building Science, Electrical Assessment,
Industrial Preventative Maintenance, Military, Security
and many other applications where imaging of heat is
critical.
 
Electrical Transformers
and Computer Chips
Infrared
Images contain a temperature measurement for each pixel
in the image.
This allows interpreters to use software
to compare temperature changes:
- Side to side in an image
- Specific areas, such as part of a breast, to identical
areas on the other breast
- Or to the same area in an image taken at another time.
Every object above absolute
zero (-273 C) emits some infrared heat radiation. Cameras
designed to detect in the proper range are used for
medical applications.
