Abstract:
Infrared thermal imaging is a non-contact imaging modality that captures the heat emitted by the human body. Thermal regulation or heat load to the different body parts is mainly regulated via blood supply, which is increased during inflammation. The assessment of the body\'s level of inflammation with pain, erythema and heat is subjective clinical measurement. Infrared imaging can be an objective tool for identifying and following inflammatory and perfusion changes, thereby helping clinicians locate and document the extent of the inflammation as well as monitor the response to treatment. As an example of this, here, we present three clinical cases where the use of thermography aided the assessment of acute inflammatory changes due to trauma, vasodilation, and allergy.
摘要:
红外热成像是一种非接触式成像模式,可捕获人体发出的热量。对身体不同部位的热调节或热负荷主要通过血液供应来调节,在炎症期间增加。评估身体的炎症水平与疼痛,红斑和发热是主观的临床测量。红外成像可以是识别和跟踪炎症和灌注变化的客观工具,从而帮助临床医生定位和记录炎症的程度以及监测对治疗的反应。作为一个例子,在这里,我们介绍了三个临床病例,其中使用热成像辅助评估由于创伤引起的急性炎症变化,血管舒张,和过敏。
