I have a thermograph every year (checks breast and upper back). For the first time I was asked if I have a thyroid issue.. it was showing as very obviously inflamed on the scan. That’s not happened before.
I wondered if anyone else here has had a thermograph?

Interesting, thank you. I can see the appeal to reduce radiation. I assume you have to pay for this privately? Maybe worth a follow-up with a thyroid ultrasound?
Can't answer your question but just looked up thermographs as I hadn't heard of them and they don't seem to be widely used at all, yet seem a very useful option? I've found info on them from Bath hospital where they seem to be used for rheumatology, but I was never offered one when I was there. Also used to take temperatures during Covid. I wonder why they aren't more widely used.
