Thermal Texture Map (TTM)

A A A

Thermal Texture Map is the fifth leading medical imaging technology, after X-ray, ultrasonic, CT and MR. It is a green and non-invasive examination tool. This unique collection and analysis technique on metabolic heat of whole-body cell provides new solutions for early prevention on disease and chronic disease treatments.

Thermal Texture Map (TTM) is a imaging equipment whose major function is in accepting the heat released by histocyte metabolic heat. The real-time metabolic status of diseased tissue is determined according to the difference between distribution of normal metabolic heat and that of lesion and its surrounding tissues. Then the doctors will make diagnosis and early risk assessment for the disease, and monitor on the effects of disease intervention.

Technical Advantage of TTM
1.Early Detection and Clinical Guideline
Disease starts from the changes of the cell function. At this time, the X-ray, CT, ultrasound and even the blood test can not indicate any pathological changes in the body. While the TTM system is highly sensitive to the changes or abnormity of cell function and it can detect small changes in the body, thus improving the early detection of diseases.

2.Evaluate the Therapeutic Effect; Accurately Guide the treatment; Improve Therapeutic Efficacy
It is convenient to conduct TTM examination since the TTM can completely record and show the conditions real-time of the metabolic heat in the cell, it is suitable for monitoring the therapeutic effect. Comparing patient’s condition before and after the treatment helps the clinical doctors make a more effective and individualized treatment.

3.High Accuracy
TTM has high accuracy and specificity on the infectious diseases, functional impairment in histocyte disorder, ischemic disease and malignant tumor. It is of great value in malignant lesions of deep histocyte on diagnosis and differential diagnosis.

4.Three-Minute Whole Body Scan
It only takes 2 to 3 minutes to finish the whole body TTM scan. The professional doctors analyze large amounts of information in the computer and will know your health condition of all the organs.

5.Non-Invasive, Non-Intrusive and Free of Radiation
During the TTM examination process, only information about metabolic heat in the cell is received. The examination is safe and available for repeated administration. There is no possibility for inducing disease due to the examination.

Clinical Application of TTM
1.Application in sub-health condition (preventive treatment of disease)
Sub-health condition is defined as a state between health and disease. The whole body information from every TTM scan is a comprehensive judgment that no other technique can acquire. As for the health care of sub-health people, the TTM has great advantage of evaluating the effect of enhancing and nursing health. 

2.Application in chronic diseases
Through the TTM analysis, people can acknowledge their functional metabolism state of all systems and organs and then nourish themselves with drug, food or some physical methods. They can also adjust their life style so as to treat the chronic diseases in its early stages, control the development of chronic diseases and improve quality of chronic patients’ life. TTM can monitor throughout the whole process. The nourishing treatment changes when the metabolic functions change, aiming to achieve the best effect.

3.Screening for precancerous lesions
As the TMM has sensitivities and it can get the whole body information through one examination, it is especially suitable for early screening on disease and characteristic body check-up. TTM mainly reflects the histocyte metabolism condition at a certain stage of the disease. It provides reliable evidence for early detection on the diseases, such as cancerous lesions or lesion with malignant tendency (some ulcer). Early detection is good for early intervention.

4.TTM in malignant tumor
TMM can determine the activity, infiltration and blood supply of the tumor. It is excellent in determining the malignant tumor of superficial tissue like mammary gland and thyroid gland, and lymphatic metastasis compared to other equipments. Moreover, TMM will not be affected by the size of the tumor so it can determine the pathological changes and risk at an early stage, aiming for early detection,

5.Assessment on vasculopathy
TTM is often applied to determine the blood supply in important organs like the heart and brain. Compared with other equipment, TTM is simple, convenient and non-invasive. It is an important supplement for angiographic diagnosis.

Precaution
1. Do not consume any food 1 hour before the examination.

2. Avoid alcohol consumption and spicy foods 24 hours before the examination. If you have taken any medical drugs, health products or eaten any spicy foods, please inform your doctor before scanning.

3.Avoid vigorous exercises 4 hours before the examination.

4. Avoid washing your hands 20 minutes before the examination.

5.Wear loose clothing and avoid applying any skin care product and cosmetics on the body.

6. For the female patient, if you are undergoing your menstrual period, please let the doctor know.

Typical Cases
Case A
The TTM indicated that there is a lung metastasis in a breast cancer patient. The patient asked the doctor to undergo active treatments. In the TTM re-examination a month later, the metastatic lesion has been cured, successfully preventing cancer from spreading. In the past three years, she persisted with undergoing TTM examinations regularly and the doctor gave her a preventive nourishing treatment specifically, which protected her body from disturbances by cancer.

Case B
Mr. Zhang found that he had high risk for stroke in the TTM examination. However, there was nothing abnormal in the CT re-examination. Mr. Zhang didn't take it seriously and he didn’t listen to doctor’s advice about preventive treatment. Later he was suddenly attacked by a stroke. Although he was treated in time and there was no sequela left, he unfortunately spent a lot of money.
