Clinical Thermography NZ operates a specialist breast thermal imaging clinic at various locations around New Zealand.

Clinic Founder and Consultant Mike Godfrey, an environmental medicine practitioner, continues to contribute to the thermography reporting process at 85 years of age and recently published a 20-year review of thermography in New Zealand.

Clinical Thermography head office is in Tauranga although this is a traveling clinic covering major cities in New Zealand, including Auckland, Christchurch, Dunedin, Hamilton, Hawke’s Bay, Invercargill, Nelson, New Plymouth, Palmerston North, Queenstown, Taupo, Tauranga, Wellington and Whangarei.

The appointment will take approximately 30-45 minutes with an IACT accredited female technician. After 10 minutes relaxing in a temperature-controlled room, patient will be asked to disrobe from the waist up. The technician will take a series of images including front, lateral and oblique views. Within 7-10 days, a complete report will sent to the patient.

Breast thermography is different to mammography. Mammograms use x-rays to identify tumours or calcifications. Thermograms measure heat signals with infra-red cameras, to identify metabolic activity levels.
