We rely on traditional methods, but also on state-of-the-art indication systems such as thermography.
ThermoScope is a non-invasive screening and scanning system which provides additional indication based on body temperature.
Our package of innovative digital imaging software and thermograpghy provides professional reports and analysis for both the doctor and the patient.
Current Aspects of Thermography in Medicine
Application Possibilities – Practical Use

The use of our software for the analysis of medical thermographic images offers numerous advantages.
The applications of ThermoScope are many and varied and are used wherever temperatures can provide information.
The ThermoScope Indication System is now successfully used in a wide variety of specialisations and supports physicians and therapists.

Temperature and health have been closely linked for centuries. Ever since Hippocrates, medical professionals have recognized the importance of an elevated temperature. Fever is without a doubt a universal symptom of an unhealthy condition that is currently a trending topic due to the Covid-19 pandemic. From a physiological point of view, the human body controls its demanding thermoregulation through the central nervous system from the hypothalamus. We find different ways to transfer the excess heat from the human body: evaporation, conduction, convection and radiation.
Approximately 60% of human heat loss is caused by radiation, and this is where thermal imaging cameras can come in handy.
The use of ThermoScope systems allows quick and easy detection of asymmetric body temperature based on the thermal symmetry of the human body. The use of ThermoScope can indicate, among other things, pathologies such as inflammation, tumors, arthritis and osteoarthritis, vascular diseases and possible ulceration, as well as be used for early detection, for example, Charcot foot.
Thermography is an infrared measurement method that is non-invasive, meaning it is contactless. As a pre-diagnostic imaging tool, it is a versatile analysis method. The measurements can take place at any location and are stress-free. Since infrared thermography is completely free of harmful radiation, it can be safely used on patients repeatedly.
Even several weeks before the appearance of initial complaints or symptoms, metabolic changes occur, causing deviations from normal temperature patterns. Both heat and cold patterns provide important information about the body’s metabolism.
The slightest deviations from individual-, normal- or baseline states can be reliably detected through thermographic measurements. In pre-diagnostic applications, thermography is a versatile analysis method and the ideal tool for training monitoring.
Thermoscope offers various system solutions and service packages. In addition to purchase, it is possible to rent or lease a system including a software license and a service package including annual calibration.
ThermoScope systems offers three choices. The ThermoScope Professional and Professional HD for mobile use within your practice or treatment rooms, as well as the use at the patient or on the sports field. The ThermoScope Professional HD Cube is designed for stationary use and can optionally be delivered with a mobile all-in-one station (with pre-installed PC, screen, printer, ThermoScope Professional HD Cube mounted on a height adjustable stand).
To analyze your measurements faster and more effectively, we have developed ThermoScope software. This is installed locally on your own computer or network. This ensures data security, as a patient’s measurements and personal data do not need to be shared with ThermoScope or other parties.
With the measurement tools (measurement points, hot- / coldspot, area and line measurement) you can read every single pixel of the measurement and get accurate measurement results with an accuracy of 0.04°C in addition to the color differences in the image.
Using different avatars (measurement grids), you can thermally compare and evaluate different body parts, such as a “left/right” or “before/after” comparison. The avatars are available for different body parts (whole body, upper body, back, hands, feet, etc…).
We would be happy to advise you personally on our ThermoScope solutions, applications and possibilities…
