Thermography requested by: Self Referring Doctor:

Ph#:

Instruc ons: Please read the following carefully and, if in agreement with this consent form, sign and date it at the b m. Please feel free to ask ques ons if there is anything that you do not understand on this form. Thermography is a procedure u lizing infrared imaging cameras to visualize and obtain an image of the infrared heat coming off the surface of the skin. The thermographic procedure is performed in order to analyze temperature p erns on the body that may or may not indicate the presence of a disease process. Consequently, a normal thermogram does not rule out the presence of significant pathology. Thermography, along with X-ray, CT, MRI, mammography, ultrasonography and other imaging procedures, is not a stand-alone diagnos c tool. Like other imaging tests it is an adjunc ve tool, which while reliable should be u lized by the pa ent’s trea ng physician along with other tests and analyses to arrive at a provisional or more complete diagnosis. No surgical procedure should be based on thermal imaging alone. Addi onal diagnos c procedures, which depend on the nature of the condi on and/or body region, are needed to achieve a final diagnosis. Thermography must not be confused with EBT or CT full body scanning. EBT and CT body scanning are structural imaging technologies, which look for the physical existence of tumors and other body structure changes while thermography does not. This office provides only the thermographic component of a complete evalua on. I understand that I will be disrobed (from the waist up for breast exams, and bu cks exposed for lower body exams) during part of the examin on for both imaging and to allow for the surface temperature of my body to equilibrate with the room. I have also been informed in advance that if a female technician is not available I will be alone with the doctor in the examin on room and have the op on of bringing someone with me to the exam. My body will be imaged with an infrared camera. I understand that this procedure does not use radi on, is not harmful to me, and that its sole func on is to produce an image of the heat coming off my body. I also understand that a brief physical examin on of any suspect areas found on the thermographic images may be performed in order to fully characterize the findings. The inform on provided will be made available to my tre ng physician upon request for further diagnosis should an abnormality be detected. I have been informed about pre-examin on prepara on to insure the most accurate thermographic examina on possible, and have complied with this protocol. Having understood the above, and having received s sfactory answers to any and all ques ons that I may have had concerning the purpose and outcome, risk factors and benefits of a thermographic examin on, as well as the u liz on of the procedure, I hereby consent to both ini al and subsequent thermographic examin ons. I also understand that thermography is not a subs tute for mammography, ultrasonography, CT, MRI or any other form of diagnos c imaging.
