Medical Thermography

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Photography in Clinical Medicine

Abstract

This chapter deals with the concept of thermographic infrared, the usable spectral bands, and the types of thermographic cameras, their operation, and uses. The different use of this technology is completed with a list of the current applications of thermography in Medicine and Health Sciences. Specialties like traumatology, neurology, and physiotherapy have been among the one that most benefit have obtained from this non-invasive imaging technique.
