Thermography in Human Medicine |
|
 |
|
| The use of thermography or thermovision in medicine is based on the natural warmth of the skin. A main advantage of this examination method is that it is free of harmful radiation. | |
Regulation thermography
Body regions have different temperature levels. If a certain body part is exposed to cold or heat, the skin reacts in order to balance out the body's heat levels. However, the thermal regulation of ill and healthy organs and body regions differs. The so called "Regulation Thermography" is based on this principle.
