Active dynamic thermography to detect the presence of stenosis in the carotid artery
Relation Between Neck Skin Temperature Measurement and Carotid Artery Stenosis: in-vivo Evaluation.
TLDR
A thermally charged in-vitro carotid artery flow loop, using 0% and 75% stenosis models, was designed to study the thermal effect on the external skin surface and disruption in the thermal features corresponding to the presence of stenosis was observed.
Use of infrared thermal camera in acute scrotal pain: a prospective study
TLDR
Testicular temperature measured by IR device was lower in patients presenting with scrotal pain compared to normal individuals, although not statistically significant, and the lowest temperature was found in cases of testicular torsion.
Cardiac thermal pulse at the neck-skin surface as a measure of stenosis in the carotid artery
Infrared (IR) thermography-based quantitative parameters to predict the risk of post-operative cancerous breast resection flap necrosis
A Computational Study on the Role of Parameters for Identification of Thyroid Nodules by Infrared Images (and Comparison with Real Data)
TLDR
A great number of numerical simulations of the heat transfer in the region under analysis, based on the Finite Element method, are performed to study the influence of each nodule and patient characteristics on the infrared sensor acquisition, showing that the tissues between skin and thyroid, as well as the nodule size, have an influence on superficial temperatures.
Infrared thermography in the diagnosis of musculoskeletal injuries
TLDR
This systematic review and meta-analysis will provide reliable evidence about the diagnostic accuracy of IRT for MSDs and will be published in a peer-reviewed journal.
The Evolution of New Trends in Breast Thermography
TLDR
In this chapter, the theoretical foundations of infrared radiation theory and the principles of the infrared imaging technique are presented and the use of IR images is proposed as an auxiliary tool for detecting disease and monitoring, especially for the early detection of breast cancer.
Diabetic foot thermal image segmentation using Double Encoder-ResUnet (DE-ResUnet).
TLDR
This proposed model provided robust and accurate automatic segmentations of the DF and outperformed other state of the art methods with an average intersection over union (IoU) of 97% and was able to accurately delineate the part of toes and heels which are high risk regions for ulceration.
