Medical Accolades
Two areas where DIMI has received tremendous scientific accolades is in the assessment of neurovascular changes in breast tissue and neurological changes responsible for non-responsive pain. In 1993 the medical journal Breast published a research article by a cancer specialist stating that the risk indicators pointing to breast cancer in women are present 2-5 years before a growth is seen on mammography. Women find our non-contact and radiation-free technology very comfortable and reassuring.

Over 8,000 medical articles have been published about infrared imaging. DIMI is recognized as
a viable diagnostic tool by the AMA Council on Scientific Affairs, the Congress of Neuro-Surgeons, the ACA Council on Diagnostic Imaging, and the American Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation.

Additional Information

	X-rays, C.T. scans, ultrasounds and M.R.I.s etc., are tests of anatomy.
	E.M.G. is a test of motor physiology.
	DIMI is unique in its capability to show physiological change and metabolic processes. It has also proven to be a very useful complementary procedure to other diagnostic modalities.

Unlike most diagnostic modalities, DIMI is non invasive. It is a very sensitive and reliable means of graphically mapping and displaying skin surface temperature. With DIMI, you can diagnose, evaluate, monitor and document a large number of injuries and conditions, including soft tissue injuries and sensory/autonomic nerve fiber dysfunction.

Medical DIMI can offer considerable financial savings by avoiding the need for more expensive investigations.

Medical DIMI can graphically display the very subjective feeling of pain by objectively displaying the changes in skin surface temperature that accompany pain levels.

Medical DIMI can show a combined effect of the autonomic nervous system and the vascular system, down to capillary dysfunctions. The effects of these changes are shown as asymmetry in temperature distribution on the surface of the body.

Medical DIMI is a monitor of thermal abnormalities present in a number of diseases and physical injuries. It is used as an aid for diagnosis and prognosis, as well as therapy follow up and rehabilitation monitoring, within clinical fields that include rheumatology, neurology, physiotherapy, sports medicine, oncology, pediatrics, orthopedics and many others. Results obtained with medical DIMI systems are totally objective and show excellent correlation with other diagnostic tests.

	Defining the extent of a lesion of which a diagnosis has previously been made
	Localizing an abnormal area not previously identified, so further tests can be performed
	Detecting early lesions before they are clinically evident
	Monitoring the healing process before the patient has returned to work or training

Skin blood flow is under the control of the sympathetic nervous system. In a normal body, there is a symmetrical dermal pattern, which is consistent and reproducible for any individual. This is recorded in precise detail with a temperature sensitivity of 0.1°C by DIMI.
