Thermography

Hi,

Have been suffering with CFS symptoms for years. I have tried some treatment that used thermal imaging at the beginning, middle and end of treatment. This was meant to show inflammation and how it decreased.
I am just confused now as it seems the initial scan was done with a 5 degree Celsius range, the mid treatment scan at 10 degrees range, and the final scan at 20 degrees. I didn't notice this until after we got home.
Am I right to think this has made results look better than they are?? Or am I reading the scans wrong and this is normal?

Thanks
