Infrared Detection for Medical/Health Application
 |
IR thermography is a convenient tool for
disease diagnosis such as rheumatism, sinusitis and blood circulation disorder.
Thanks to infrared thermography, it is possible for early detection of
skin cancer and tumor without harmful X-ray radiation.
Other medical applications include test for breakdown and recovery of nervous
system, pain management, open heart surgery, accessing skin damage due to burn and healing. IR thermography helps to determine effect
of medicines, massage and physical therapy for medical

Elevated human body temperature, or fever, is a convincing and reliable indicator of
most human viral infections. Since the outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome
(SARS), public health authorities around the world have been looking for a fast,
easy, contactless, non-invasive and reliable method to detect elevated human body
temperature differences.
Thermography is such a method. It has become vital to control body temperature
of risk groups such as travelers and proven itself as a monitoring tool that has
substantially contributed to reduce the spreading of SARS virus in many countries
and regions...more
