What Are the Outstanding Applications of Infrared Thermal Imaging Technology in Detecting Epidemics?

 the specific application of infrared thermal imaging technology in building a smart and safe city

After a new coronavirus infection, fever usually appears as the first symptom, so body temperature measurement has become an important means of screening suspected cases, especially in crowded places such as train stations, airports, subway stations, and hospitals.

With a recent video that has been widely circulated on the Internet, this hard-core epidemic prevention black technology that can be detected by "exhaust" - infrared thermal imaging technology has gradually attracted everyone's attention. Next, we will learn more about the working principle and advantages of the following infrared thermal imaging technology in detecting epidemics, hoping to provide you with some reference content.

The working principle of infrared thermal imaging technology

Infrared thermal imaging technology (IRTI) is a new type of functional imaging detection technology. It mainly receives the information changes of different temperature fields on the surface of the human body through remote sensing to diagnose diseases and evaluate the functional state of the human body. It receives infrared thermal radiation through a series of optical components and photoelectric processing and other technologies, and then converts the thermal image visible to the human eye and displays it on the screen.

The human body is a natural biological heating body. Due to the differences in anatomical structure, tissue metabolism, blood circulation, and neurological status, the temperature of each part of the body is different, forming different thermal fields. From the point of view of physics, the human body is a natural source of biological infrared radiation.

It continuously radiates infrared radiant energy into the surrounding space. When the human body is ill or some physiological conditions change, this systemic or local thermal balance is disrupted or affected, which clinically manifests as an increase or decrease in tissue temperature.

Advantages of infrared thermal imaging technology

We know that the commonly used clinical imaging examination methods (magnetic resonance, CT, X-ray, ultrasound, etc.) are mostly structural imaging examinations, which can provide information on abnormal body structures, but cannot reflect the functional changes of body tissues. But when a disease occurs, functional changes often precede structural changes, so dynamic observations of bodily functions are more predictive than static observations.

Infrared thermal imaging technology (IRTI) is a method that focuses on functional imaging. It fills in the blank of medical functional imaging by prompting the physiological/pathological changes and metabolism of the body through the regularity of the thermal distribution image of the human body. Its irreplaceable advantages lie in early diagnosis, physical examination screening, efficacy evaluation, follow-up, and scientific research.

In this context, Chinese academician Zhong Nanshan led the Guangzhou Institute of Human Medicine and discovered that infrared thermal imaging is highly sensitive and relatively specific to blood vessels. 

At the same time, they carry out a series of clinical medicine-industry-university-research transformation-clinical application research of this project and continue to promote the industrialization development of this technology, and the research results have been successfully completed from clinical.

ThermTec actively participated in the promotion, application, and clinical transformation of infrared thermal imaging technology in many fields such as health checkups, early disease screening, and functional assessment by the team of Academician Zhong Nanshan.
