What Are the Applications of Infrared Thermal Imaging Technology in the Medical Field?
Infrared thermal imaging is a technology that uses photoelectric technology to detect infrared specific band signals of thermal radiation of objects, converts the signals into images and graphics that can be distinguished by human vision, and can further calculate the temperature value.
Infrared thermal imaging technology enables humans to transcend visual barriers so that people can "see" the temperature distribution on the surface of an object. Therefore, the application of infrared thermal imaging technology in the medical field is becoming more and more extensive, the specific information is as follows.
1. Advanced technology
Infrared thermal imaging technology can digitally record the information of the local temperature distribution of the human body and display it on a plan. Whole, comprehensive, or individual organ examinations can be performed.
2. Early warning
The temperature measurement sensitivity of the medical infrared thermal imager is extremely high, which can directly reflect the changes in the abnormal thermal state (temperature) area of the human body. In the early stage of many diseases, even if there are only functional (metabolic) changes without the formation of organic lesions.
By collecting information on temperature changes through medical infrared thermal imagers, potential hidden dangers can be interpreted without obvious signs of the body, and problems can be detected earlier. Some data show that infrared thermal imaging can detect lesions half a year earlier or even earlier than structural imaging, and can be used as the first choice for prediction, screening, and diagnosis of tumors and other major diseases.
3. Green physical examination
The infrared thermal imager does not emit radiation when it works. It passively receives the infrared rays emitted by the human body through the external detector, which will not cause any harm or adverse reaction to the human body. Pollution, non-destructive, non-radioactive, green, low-carbon, low-energy-consumption inspection, and convenient, fast, and sensitive.
4. Non-ill health checkup
It can be used as the preferred method to focus on screening healthy, sub-health, sub-clinical and high-risk, and potential populations of major diseases. In terms of health census and overall evaluation, the medical theories and clinical experiences such as modern medicine and TCM constitution are used to comprehensively evaluate the various systems of the human body and the overall health status, so as to formulate corresponding medical, health care, prevention, and intervention plans.
5. Special health check
Special examinations for diseases of various specialty systems and functional status.
6. Screening for major diseases
According to the observation of the immune system, endocrine system, as well as the abnormal performance of local tissues and organs and their corresponding lymphatic regions, early detection of major diseases such as heart, cerebrovascular and tumor, as well as the screening of sudden epidemic diseases and regional epidemic diseases.
7. Clinical application scope of medical digital infrared thermal imaging technology
(1) Determine the location, scope, and degree of acute and chronic inflammation;
(2) Determine the location, nature, and degree of soft tissue pain;
(3) Preliminary screening of physical examination;
(4) Early warning of tumor;
(5) Auxiliary diagnosis of diseases;
(6) Monitor the state of vascular blood supply function;
(7) The whole process of treatment monitoring and curative effect evaluation.
