PIP (Polycontrast Interference Photography) is a visual, non-invasive scanning system that reveals where current problems may exist and interestingly where developing issues might arise.

PIP is commonly used to enable practitioners and their clients to see recordings of ‘before and after treatment and healthcare plans,’ thereby motivating patients to make better-informed health choices. PIP can assess and evaluate health issues; show developing and existing stresses to the body; demonstrate healing procedures; and provide an evaluation of treatment methods and systems.

PIP is primarily used in clinics to improve healthcare approaches. It is relatively straight forward to use, though having computer and camera experience helps with learning. PIP shows the interference and transference of light patterns, at and beyond the visible range, mostly from the near infrared spectrum. It does this by video recording and then recoding the light intensities through the PIP computer program.
