What do I have to do to prepare for a thermal scan?

There are a few guidelines for preparing for a thermal scan:

  • Do not have physical therapy, massage, or electromyography on the same day thermography is performed
  • Do not smoke for 2 hours before the test
  • Do not use lotions, deodorants, or liniments on day of test
  • Stay out of strong sunlight on the day of test

There are no dietary or medication restrictions on the day of your scan.
