Tree care specialists presently assess tree health by visual examination and with the use of invasive tools such as borers and drills. Visual examination is conducted by a certified arborist whose assessment, based on experience, includes the observance of red flag indicators such as wounds to the trunk and limbs (from construction and improper pruning), size and fullness of the crown (upper branches), degree of trunk tilt, and ground obstructions such as sidewalks, roadbeds, external fungal bodies and nearby homes.

The TRU radar imaging system presents the tree diagnostician with a dramatically enhanced tool to assess a tree's health. A high-resolution image (an "MRI for trees") is easily created by a technician and provides 100% coverage of the tree trunk.

Additionally, a quantitative table of the amount of remaining solid wood is also generated. This is obtained completely non-invasively and is no more time consuming or harmful to the tree than walking around it while rubbing a hand against the bark.
