“…Cole et al also reported similar results and concluded that, IRT might be helpful for selecting subject for early surgery [166]. Schnell and Zaspel used IRT for cooling management of extensive burns [167]. Mercer et al have used IRT for monitoring the improvement of wound healing by water-filtered infrared-A (WIRA) in human subjects with chronic venous stasis ulcers [168].…”

The primary objective of this study is the development of transparent thin film materials in the IR enabling strong infrared absorption of organic compounds in the vicinity of metal nanoparticles by the surface plasmon effect. For developing these optical micro-sensors, heterostructures combining gold nanoparticles and chalcogenide planar waveguides are fabricated and adequately characterized. Single As 2 S 3 and Ge 25 Sb 10 Se 65 amorphous chalcogenide thin films are prepared by radiofrequency magnetron sputtering. For the fabrication of gold nanoparticles on a chalcogenide planar waveguide, direct current sputtering is employed. Fabricated single layers or hetero-structures are characterized using various techniques to investigate the influence of deposition parameters. The nanoparticles of gold are functionalized by a self-assembled monolayer of 4-nitrothiophenol. Finally, the surface enhanced infrared absorption spectra of 4-nitrothiophenol self-assembled on fabricated Au/Ge-Sb-Se thin films hetero-structures are measured and analyzed. This optical component presents a ~24 enhancement factor for the detection of NO 2 symmetric stretching vibration band of 4-nitrothiophenol at 1336 cm −1 .

“…It is a relatively straightforward imaging approach that detects the variation of temperature on the human skin surface. Thermography is widely used in the medical arena [5,7,9,12,14,16,17,21,32,35,[47][48][49][50][51][52][55][56][57][58][59]63,68,70,71,73,76,80,85]. These include the detection of breast cancer, which is the refocus of many biomedical researches in recent years [1].…”

“…Blood activity plays a dominant role in heat distribution. With current experimental techniques (Laser Doppler (De Boer et al, 1996) and (Bauera et al, 2006), infrared thermal imaging (Renkielska et al, 2006), (Boué et al, 2007), (Schnell et al, 2008) and (Bouzida et al, 2009)), observations have become more refined. The present study quantitatively highlights certain effects of blood circulation on heat diffusion.…”

The aim of this study is to propose a combined model of heat transfer in the vein and tissue of human skin. It allows to better understand the thermomechanical behavior of the skin and its direct environment when exposed to strong thermal variations. The work is based on experimental and numerical investigations. The first experimental step consists in placing a cooled cylindrical steel bar on the skin of a human forearm and measuring the temperature change using an infrared camera. Blood circulation in the veins was seen to clearly influence heat diffusion. The second experimental step consists in measuring geometrical properties of the veins and blood velocity using an echo-Doppler probe. These experimental measurements provide a numerical model of the skin and its direct vicinity. The three-dimensional multilayer model uses Pennes equation to model biological tissue and the convective heat transport equation, to model blood. The properties of the biological materials obtained from the literature are validated by our experimentation. The numerical model is able to simulate the experimental observations, but also to estimate blood temperature and velocity in the veins.
