"the AMA passed a resolution stating that the thermography had not been proven to have value as a medical diagnostic test."
that's an excerpt from the risk-factor section of a 10k from HMSC, filed 9 months before HMSC ceased operations.

Here's more from the same filing:

In 1983, OHTA issued a report stating that thermography needed further development and should not be used alone for diagnostic screening for breast cancer.

In 1984, HCFA withdrew coverage for thermography under Medicare as a diagnostic screening method for breast disease.

In 1991, based upon reports which addressed the use of thermography in neurological and musculoskeletal conditions, the AMA passed a resolution stating that the thermography had not been proven to have value as a medical diagnostic test.

In 1992, HCFA withdrew Medicare reimbursement for all other uses of thermography.

In 1993, the AMA adopted a resolution stating that use of hermography for diagnostic purposes could not be recommended at that time.
