Thermography is a medical imaging technique that uses infrared cameras to visualize the temperature patterns on the skin surface. It allows for early detection of abnormalities by monitoring subtle changes in skin temperature. The presentation provides an overview of thermography, including how it works, the equipment used like infrared cameras, and its applications in areas like breast cancer screening and musculoskeletal issues. It is a non-invasive imaging method with advantages like the ability to monitor large areas in real-time, but there are also limitations like camera cost and accuracy.

2. WHAT “ THERMOGRAPHY” MEANS?
• Thermography or Thermology is the medical science that derives diagnostic indications
from highly detailed and sensitive infrared images of the human body.
• Also referred to as:
Infra-Red Imaging
Tele-Thermology
Utilizes high resolution & sensitive camera.
GAURAV R. DESHMUKH

3. • Thermography is used for early
pre-clinical diagnosis and control
during treatment of homeostatic
imbalances.
• Uses digital imaging called as
(digital infrared thermal imaging - DITI ).
• Non-Invasive, non-contact tool.
• Uses heat of the body as
the measurement parameter.

4. COMPONENTS INVOLVED:
• Uses only 2 parts:
1). The IR camera &
2). Computer.
Monitors are high-resolution
full colour PC based systems
therefore can store thousands
of images.

10. THERMOGRAPHIC CAMERA
• Their resolution is considerably lower than of optical cameras, mostly only 160x120 or
320x240 pixels.
• 1 °C difference at the scene induces just a 0.03 °C difference at the sensor.
--Types
Cooled infrared detectors
Uncooled infrared detectors

11. ADVANTAGES OF THERMOGRAPHY
• It shows a visual picture so temperatures
over a large area can be compared.
• It is capable of catching moving targets
in real time.
• It is able to find deteriorating, i.e.,
higher temperature components prior
to their failure.
• It is a non-destructive test method
• It can be used to detect objects in dark areas.

12. LIMITATIONS OF THERMOGRAPHY
1).Quality cameras often have a high price range.
2).Images can be difficult to interpret accurately when based
upon certain objects, specifically objects with erratic
temperatures.
3).Most cameras have ±2% accuracy or worse in measurement.
4).Only able to directly detect surface temperatures
5).Condition of work, depending of the case, can be drastic.

• Breast pathologies
• Neuro-Musculo-Skeletal
• Vertebrae (nerve problems/arthritis)
• Lower Extremity Vessel Disease
• Respiratory dysfunctions
• Skin Problems
