Only MD's and DO's provide interpretations of thermographic scans at EMI
Here at Get Started TIPPS, everyone who buys a Meditherm Med2000 medical thermography camera from us also gets connected with the EMI (Electronic Medical Interpretation, Inc.) interpretation service. We provide thermographers with software so medical thermography scans are uploaded to EMI for interpretation. A medical doctor or doctor of osteopathy writes an interpretation report for each scan, and transmits it back to the thermographer’s office. The thermographer then gives the report to their patient and discusses the results.
EMI is the best choice for medical thermography interpretation because it is backed by qualified, board-certified physicians who are specially trained in the interpretation of medical thermographic images. Not all interpretation services meet these standards.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about the EMI interpretation service:
Q: What are the credentials of the interpreting physician?
A: All EMI interpretations are performed by MD’s/DO’s board-certified by the American College of Clinical Thermology (ACCT). MD’s and DO’s have a scope of practice and are licensed to practice medicine — chiropractors are not.
Q: Does EMI have enough interpreting doctors, even when demand for interpretations is high?
A: EMI has over 35 MD’s performing interpretation, so high volume is not a problem.
Q: How long does it take to get a set of scans interpreted?
A: Turn-around time is, on average, less than 24 hrs. STAT results available also.
Q: Can thermographers ask questions about a scan?
A: EMI provides a direct line for licensed practitioners to inquire about a patient report.
Q: How are EMI doctors held accountable for the qualify of their interpretations? What if we want a second opinion?
A: EMI provides peer-review and 2nd opinion options. Quality control and quality assurance programs monitor standards and protocols.
Q: What about comparative analysis? If a patient moves to another city, can EMI still access their past scans and compare them to more recent scans? (Monitoring change over time is very helpful in thermography.)
A: The EMI database is worldwide and patient files and images are kept on record and accessible. There are Meditherm practitioners, clinics and hospitals world-wide with millions of patients on record and the database is growing daily. Patients may relocate and be assured of finding a Meditherm thermographer to provide continuing comparative analysis.
