Body temperature is one of the most commonly used indicators of health status in humans.
Infrared thermography (IRT) is a safe, non-invasive and low-cost technique that allows for
the rapid and non-invasive recording of radiating energy that is released from the body. IRT …

In a first stage a cancer promotes an intense process of vascularization at the affected area
increasing blood flow and modifying the local temperature of the body. Using a thermal
camera, the infrared radiation emitted by the human body can be captured and then used in …

Background: The segmentation of cancerous areas in breast images is important for the
early detection of disease. Thermal imaging has advantages, such as being non-invasive,
non-radiation, passive, quick, painless, inexpensive, and non-contact. Imaging technique is …

In this paper we propose a methodology for early detection and recognition of Glaucoma in
ocular thermographs. Ocular thermography is an efficient tool not only to capture
temperatures of corneal surface, but also to detect and visualize any changes on the Ocular …

The aim of the study was to evaluate the potential of the thermogram in diagnosing
rheumatoid arthritis and to compare the implementation of k-means algorithm and fuzzy c
means algorithm using a computer aided diagnostic tool for classification of rheumatoid …

K-Means Clustering is one of the method for image segmentation which will subtract the
interest area from background. By using K-Means Clustering, thermal image is divided into 2
layers which separates the hotter region from the background image. This will ease the hot …

In this chapter, we will describe how infrared thermography (IRT) can help us to prevent and
monitor injuries, always based on the use of standardised protocols. We will explain some of
the main physiological aspects and will enumerate the main applications, with examples …

Thermographic data processing and analysis is critical for effective infrared thermography
non-destructive testing of defects in composite materials. In this research work, the concept
of blind source separation is introduced into this field for facilitating subsurface defect …

BACKGROUND: Breast thermography is a potential imaging method for the early detection
of breast cancer. The pathological conditions can be determined by measuring temperature
variations in the abnormal breast regions. Accurate delineation of breast tissues is reported …

Digital Infrared Thermal Imaging (DITI) or Infrared Thermography is a non-invasive, non-
contact, harmless technique which measures and records the surface temperature of the
skin under study as thermogram or thermal images. Segmentation of the region of interest …
