Use of the dynamic thermography (lock-in and pulse) for assessment of burns is discussed. Measurements of burns under medical treatment with different depth of affected tissue (from the first to the third-degree burns) are shown. The thermographic data are correlated with histopathological analysis of lesions. The results show that dynamic thermography might be advice as a simple, noninvasive a...

In our paper3 we presented obtained results that were carefully analyzed and shown as a new insight in existing area: use of mammography and thermography simultaneously. We confi rmed the high sensitivity of thermography4 and based on other similar research we concluded that »it would be prudent« (no must or have to) »to use thermography as a primary screening method« (not the only one) »in det...

High-temperature pressure pipelines are extensively used in petrochemical plant and power stations. Severe pits or wall loss defects can be internally produced after a certain period of time due to media corrosion and cavitation erosion. These defects finally lead to leakage of the pipes. In order to search for a good non-destructive method for these defects, a large pipe testing installation w...

In this paper new thermographic techniques with significant improved temperature and/or spatial resolution are presented and compared with existing techniques. In infrared (IR) lock-in thermography heat sources in an electronic device are periodically activated electrically, and the surface is imaged by a free-running IR camera. By computer processing and averaging the images over a certain acq...

Recent advances in the noninvasive analyses of plant metabolism include stress imaging techniques, mainly developed for vegetative tissues. We explored if infrared thermography can be used to predict whether a quiescent seed will germinate or die upon water uptake. Thermal profiles of viable, aged, and dead Pisum sativum seeds were recorded, and image analysis of 22,000 images per individual se...

Preliminary note 3D numerical study of transient heat transfer phenomenon on a solid plate with complex heat sources has been carried out. In order to validate the chosen numerical model, a set of thermographic measurements have been performed on a heating plate sample. The infrared camera provided a number of thermograms showing the development of transient temperature fields on the plate surf...

In this work heat flux thermography algorithms are proposed to suppress false indications that appear when testing steel billets with inductive thermography. Not only temperature amplitudes are used for evaluation but also the time dependancy of the temperature profile, different types of cooling rates and signal shape parameters. These new algorithms were tested successfully in a rolling mill....

conclusions there were significant distinctions in the skin temperature distribution during exercise according to the activity of the area under consideration during exercise, which may be important in the development of physiological models and heat flux analyses for different purposes. results during pre-exercise, all tsk reached a steady-state (p ≤ 0.05), which ensured adequate thermal stabi...

PURPOSE We evaluated the sensitivity of 3 noninvasive methods for detecting left and right varicoceles. MATERIALS AND METHODS Three noninvasive methods for the detection of varicocele in the left and right internal spermatic veins were evaluated in 214 infertile men, namely, physical examination, scrotal contact thermography and ultrasound Doppler. Venography was used as the reference diagnos...

BACKGROUND A plantar temperature distribution can be obtained by thermography; however, the advantage has not been effectively utilized in the past. We previously proposed a classification method based on the angiosome concept, but the method was insufficient because it was too subjective and complicated for clinicians. In this study, we propose a new classification system of plantar forepart t...
