Gas Discharge Visualisation FAQS

What happens during the test?
The GDV test involves an individual placing each of their fingers one at a time onto a dielectric plate. Then a small electrical impulse induces a visible image in a shape of gaseous discharge. This effect gave the name to the Gas Discharge Visualisation Technique. The image is then processed by the computer as a 3-D picture of a human body. Finally, the software extracts quantitative parameters such as image area, spectrum, density, fractality, entropy, and many more which are the basis for general health assessment.

How long I need to wait for the result of test?
All recorded information can be displayed on the computer screen immediately after test. Results may be printed and given to you with the set of GDV images print-outs and recommendations.
