Just a quick update to my post. To be medically correct the terminology palpable tissue is tissue that you can feel with your hand, in addition each process is also able to detect non-palpable tissue as well.

Angiogenesis is actually what produces the thermal signature. Refer to Dr. Kirk's posting for an explanation.

i would like to clear up, once and for all, any question about diagnostic thermal imaging and back pain. yes, it does corrleate with pain. so why not just ask the generaic patient if they hurt and believe them?. it is far cheaper and we know that most people just need short term rest, maybe some manipulation or NSAIDS, and then an active exercise program-- for herniated discs MRI is superb and there is no need for thermal studies.

as regards fraud, the signature for an inflamed low back is heat. that would make it easy to mimic. why not just have the patient lie on a heaitng pad prior to the exam, or rub some liniment into the area to generate a heat signal to trick the examiner?. what i am getting at is the fraudulant patient could find ways to trick the system. it really is not worth it for malingerers--look how the athletes have falsified drug testing!

anyway, i think that COII has the greatest chance in breast imaging and that is where i think they should and are focusing. back pain would be a time consuming diversion imho.

Unfortunately, I have no specific knowledge of this technology, just a peripheral interest in the area. It does appear that others on this thread have such information.
