WHAT IS THERMOGRAPHY?

Thermography is the practice of using digital infrared cameras to read heat maps created by the body’s natural response to disease. It is uniquely adept at finding early stage tumors and other chronic conditions that don’t show up on anatomy based tests. Thermography is used as an adjunct to screening equipment such as Ultrasound, CAT scan, MRI, and Mammograms.

WHAT IS INCLUDED WITH MY OSI SCORE?

The OSI Score includes a medical/dental verbal and visual assessment conducted at an initial scanning appointment. Your trained WellPod team interprets your OSI Score™ and empowers you with the information of what you need to do next for your wellness healthcare.
