After your appointment

Understanding your thermography report.

What happens after image capture, what the completed report contains, and how the included consultation helps you use the information appropriately.

Every LiveWell session includes more than image capture. Your thermal images and relevant intake information move through a professional interpretation process, then return as a digital report you can keep and discuss with a licensed healthcare provider.

From image capture to completed report.

  1. Olivia checks the image set. The required standardized views are confirmed before your appointment ends.
  2. The case is submitted securely. Images and relevant history go through the Breast Thermography International reporting network.
  3. Three-level review takes place. Three PACT-certified interpreters participate, with a senior interpreter completing the final review.
  4. Your report is returned. Most completed reports are available within 3–7 business days.
  5. You receive a consultation. A qualified thermology professional spends 15 minutes walking through the report and answering questions about its language.

What the report includes.

  • The thermal images captured for the session you selected.
  • Relevant health-history context submitted with the case.
  • Professional observations about surface-temperature patterns and asymmetries.
  • Impressions and recommendations from the interpretation process.

The report can help document a thermal baseline and identify patterns that may merit discussion or follow-up. It does not turn a temperature pattern into a medical diagnosis.

A thermal image is one part of the report. The professional interpretation adds context, observed patterns, and recommendations; it does not provide a diagnosis.

What to ask during the consultation.

  • Which observations are most important for me to understand?
  • Does the report recommend a timeframe for follow-up?
  • Which parts should I specifically discuss with my healthcare provider?
  • Would a future thermography comparison require the same session coverage?

The consultation explains the thermography report. It is not a medical appointment and does not replace diagnosis, treatment, or screening guidance from a licensed clinician.

Contact a clinician promptly for symptoms. Do not wait for a report or use a thermogram alone to evaluate a new lump, skin dimpling, nipple discharge, redness, persistent focal pain, fever, acute injury, or another concerning change.

Sharing and saving your report.

Keep the original digital file so future images can be compared with the correct history and session scope. If you share it with a healthcare provider, send the complete report rather than a cropped thermal image so the observations and limitations remain attached.

Frequently asked report questions.

How soon will I receive the report?

Most reports are returned within 3–7 business days. Olivia will let you know if a holiday, requested records, or another circumstance changes the expected timing.

Who reviews the images?

LiveWell submits cases through the BTI network. Three PACT-certified interpreters participate in the review, with a senior interpreter completing the final assessment.

Is the consultation included?

Yes. Every breast, torso, and full-body session includes a 15-minute results consultation with a qualified thermology professional.

Can the report diagnose cancer or another condition?

No. It documents and interprets surface-temperature patterns. Diagnosis and medical follow-up belong with an appropriately licensed healthcare provider.

Reporting is included with every session.
