Disclaimer

At Thermal Infra, we are committed to transparency and accuracy in how our services are presented. Please read carefully to understand the scope and limitations of thermal imaging.

Not a Medical Diagnostic Tool

  • Thermal imaging is not FDA-cleared for medical diagnosis.

  • Our services are intended for wellness and educational purposes only.

  • Thermal imaging does not replace X-ray, MRI, ultrasound, or any other medical imaging prescribed by a licensed healthcare provider.

Complementary Use

  • Thermal imaging may be used as an adjunctive tool to support wellness programs, bodywork, recovery, or discussions with your healthcare team.

  • Findings should always be considered in context with a physician’s evaluation, clinical tests, and other diagnostic methods.

No Claims of Treatment or Cure

  • Thermal Infra does not claim to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

  • Any information provided through our services should not be interpreted as medical advice.

  • Decisions regarding your health should always be made with a qualified medical professional.

Safety and Comfort

  • Thermal imaging is non-invasive, contact-free, and radiation-free.

  • The procedure is considered safe and comfortable for most individuals.

Responsibility of Clients

  • By using our services, clients acknowledge that thermal imaging is for wellness insight only.

  • Clients are responsible for seeking appropriate medical evaluation for any health concerns.

  • Thermal Infra and its practitioners are not liable for any decision made based on thermal imaging alone.

Terms of Use

By accessing or using the services of Thermal Infra, you acknowledge and agree to the following:

  1. Non-Diagnostic Services
    Thermal Infra provides thermal imaging exclusively for wellness, educational, and observational purposes. Thermal imaging is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any medical condition.

  2. No Medical Advice
    Information provided by Thermal Infra — whether through images, reports, discussions, or this website — does not constitute medical advice. You should consult a licensed healthcare provider for diagnosis, treatment, or medical decisions.

  3. Assumption of Responsibility
    Clients assume full responsibility for how thermal imaging results are interpreted and used. Thermal Infra and its practitioners are not liable for health decisions made on the basis of imaging alone.

  4. Limitations of Service

    • Thermal imaging cannot detect all conditions, particularly those not associated with surface temperature changes.

    • Results may vary depending on environment, physiology, and other external factors.

    • Services are provided “as is” without warranties, express or implied.

  5. Indemnification
    By using Thermal Infra services, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless Thermal Infra, its practitioners, and affiliates from any claims, damages, or liabilities arising from use or misuse of thermal imaging results.

  6. Governing Law
    These Terms shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to conflict-of-law provisions.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is thermal imaging the same as a medical diagnostic test?
No — thermal imaging is not a diagnostic tool. It detects surface temperature and heat patterns, but cannot diagnose diseases or internal structural issues. For instance, the FDA has warned that thermography should not replace mammography for breast cancer screening. (FDA)

2. What influences the accuracy of thermal imaging?
Many factors affect readings:

  • Body composition (fat layers reduce surface temperature contrast)

  • Ambient conditions (room temperature, airflow, humidity)

  • Recent activity, skin moisture, or external heat sources
    Because of these, patterns are most useful when compared to a baseline image of the same person under similar conditions. (Eur J Med Res)

3. Can thermal imaging detect illness before symptoms appear?
Thermal imaging can sometimes show changes in heat distribution or skin temperature before obvious symptoms, particularly in inflammation or vascular activity. But:

  • Evidence is preliminary and often from small studies.

  • These findings are not specific: heat changes can result from many causes (infection, inflammation, exercise, injury).
    (Frontiers in Medicine)

4. Is thermography approved by the FDA for cancer screening or diagnosis?
No. Thermography is not cleared by the FDA as a standalone tool for diagnosing cancer or replacing standard screening methods like mammography. It’s only cleared for use as an adjunct, meaning used in addition to, not instead of, diagnostic tests. (FDA)

5. What kinds of wellness or recovery applications can thermal imaging support?
Thermal imaging is most useful for non-diagnostic, wellness / recovery contexts:

  • Tracking inflammation or blood flow changes after physical training or injury

  • Monitoring healing of superficial wounds or burns

  • Supporting massage / manual therapy to show pre-/post-treatment heat symmetry or relief
    Studies show it can detect temperature differences between symmetric body regions, which may help identify imbalances. (Eur J Med Res)

6. When should I consult a doctor instead of relying on thermal imaging feedback alone?
You should seek professional evaluation if:

  • You notice persistent or worsening symptoms (pain, swelling, lumps) that don’t improve

  • Thermal imaging shows unusual patterns (e.g., hot spots not explained by recent activity) that concern you

  • You have risk factors for medical conditions (family history, prior injuries) and are considering changing your care plan based on thermal results

Because thermal imaging does not detect all issues (especially deeper or non-surface ones), medical imaging or tests ordered by a licensed provider will be necessary in many cases.
