WHAT

THERMOGRAPHY MEANS?

Thermography or Thermology is the medical science that derives diagnostic indications

from highly detailed and sensitive infrared images of the human body.

Also referred to as:

Infra-Red Imaging
Tele-Thermology

Utilizes high resolution & sensitive camera.

GAURAV R. DESHMUKH

Thermography is used for early

pre-clinical diagnosis and control
during treatment of homeostatic
imbalances.

Uses digital imaging called as

(digital infrared thermal imaging - DITI ).

Non-Invasive, non-contact tool.

Uses heat of the body as

the measurement parameter.

COMPONENTS INVOLVED:

Uses only 2 parts:

1). The IR camera &

2). Computer.
Monitors are high-resolution
full colour PC based systems
therefore can store thousands
of images.

THERMOGRAPHIC CAMERA

Their resolution is considerably lower than of optical cameras, mostly only 160x120 or
320x240 pixels.

1 C difference at the scene induces just a 0.03 C difference at the sensor.

--Types

Cooled infrared detectors

Uncooled infrared detectors

ADVANTAGES

OF

It shows a visual picture so temperatures

over a large area can be compared.

It is capable of catching moving targets

in real time.

It is able to find deteriorating, i.e.,

higher temperature components prior
to their failure.

It is a non-destructive test method

It can be used to detect objects in dark areas.

THERMOGRAPHY

LIMITATIONS OF THERMOGRAPHY
1).Quality cameras often have a high price range.
2).Images can be difficult to interpret accurately when based
upon certain objects, specifically objects with erratic
temperatures.
3).Most cameras have 2% accuracy or worse in measurement.
4).Only able to directly detect surface temperatures
5).Condition of work, depending of the case, can be drastic.
