The science, in depth
Educational articles on contact regulation thermography — its methodology, history, interpretation, and technology. Each includes the original reference document, viewable in-browser.
Introduction to Contact Regulation Thermography
A functional, thermodynamic approach to assessing the body's regulatory capacity — its history, science, procedure, and interpreting principles.
The History and Science of Thermography
How temperature became a diagnostic signal — and why a cold challenge reveals the body's functional regulation.
Evaluating Regulation Thermograms
The interpretive framework of contact regulation thermography — reaction types, the reaction profile, and the diagnostic indices.
Measurement Procedure & Interpretation of Results
A practitioner reference for the 119-point measurement, the point legend, and how to read the reaction profile and indices.
CRT-IR Cloud Technology: A Practitioner Explainer

Peer-Reviewed: CRT as a Complementary Tool in Breast-Cancer Diagnosis
A 2019 clinical trial (NIH · PubMed Central) found CRT had the highest specificity of the imaging modalities studied — supporting its use as a complementary, not standalone, breast-cancer diagnostic.
Contact Regulation Thermography — A Clinical Overview by Dr. James Odell
Naturopathic physician Dr. James Odell's monograph on CRT: how a functional test detects physiological change early, its role in breast health, and where it fits responsibly alongside mammography and biopsy.
