“…We performed ADT experiments using the procedure and configuration of instrumentation described in our former publications [1,2,3,4,5,6,7], based on IR imaging of thermal transient processes after external pulse excitation. Using equipment: a high quality IR camera Flir SC 3000, quantum well FPA LW of 25 mK resolution and 60 Hz acquisition rate for capturing of series of thermal images during and after cooling and a cryotherapy device using CO2 vapour, with specially designed applicator to get uniform cooling of tested skin of animals were applied - Fig.1.…”

“…Here we present results of several earlier research projects devoted to solve problems of IR-thermal imaging in skin burn diagnostics [13][14][15][16][17], but with data and images corrected after introduction of several procedures developed recently. Important aim of this discussion is to show typical for ADT IR-thermal imaging problems existing in biomedical diagnostics but not known in technical NDE applications.…”

In this paper we summarize results of several research projects devoted to development of new diagnostic methods and procedures based on quantitative infrared thermography in medical applications. First, basics of active dynamic thermography are presented. Described are both, instrumentation and software comprising measurement procedures including collection of series of IR-images after external excitation, data treatment with displacement corrections, reduction of noise and artifacts and finally presentation of parametric diagnostic images. The thermal tomography method is also shortly discussed. As the most important for medical diagnostics parametric images of thermal time constants are discussed. For illustration of the value of presented methods chosen research and clinical applications performed in several clinics of Gdansk Medical University are presented. In vivo experiments on animals, mainly domestic pig, as well as clinical diagnostic procedures are discussed in skin burn and cardiosurgery applications. Specific requirements of IR-thermal investigation in medical applications are discussed in comparison to IR-thermal imaging in technical non-destructive evaluation. It should be underlined that medical applications of IR-diagnostics seem to be the most difficult among other applications as heat transfers in living tissues are far more complicated comparing to technical

The advantages and disadvantages of active thermography in medical diagnostics using different thermal excitations: halogen lamps as a heating source and ice and a fan as cooling sources are discussed. A new procedure of tissues thermal properties identification and a new image processing method used to increase contrast between healthy and injured tissues are described. In-vivo experiments prove validity of proposed methods.
