We analyze the hadronic phase of QCD using effective thermal field theory techniques. Our goal is to investigate the medium created in heavy ion collisions by calculating the electromagnetic emissivity of strongly interacting matter in the hadronic phase. We proceed through examining the vector meson properties in a thermal bath where the temperature reaches deconfinement and chiral symmetry is restored. In particular we observe the behavior of the rho spectral function in thermal medium and use it as a probe to examine the thermal environment generated in the collision.
