“…Of interest, baseline thermographic temperature is influenced by gender but, not race and trends show decreased perfusion in tobacco users relative to nonsmokers, which highlights the importance of subject characterization [35]. Additionally, while not specifically studied in SSc, lower facial skin and submental triangle region temperatures, measured by IRT, can help identify patients with obstructive sleep apnea [36]. Though IRT devices are valuable for assessing skin circulation, they require prospective clinical studies to determine the validity, reliability, sensitivity, and specificity of these measurements for routine use in patients who are at risk for vascular disease and wound development [37].…”

Purpose of reviewVascular assessment in systemic sclerosis (SSc) is included in classification criteria for this disease, thus routinely used in the evaluation of patients in which this diagnosis is being considered. In this review, imaging techniques for assessment of vascular involvement in SSc hands and skin are discussed. Recent findingsLongitudinal use of imaging techniques has important implications for understanding the progressive vasculopathy and fibrotic transition in SSc. Nailfold and oral capillaroscopy as well as laser speckle contrast analysis are established techniques for vascular functional assessment, but longitudinal use is challenged by equipment costs and clinical time constraints. Ultrasound techniques are well described but require technical training. Advances in mobile infrared thermography and optical coherence tomography could potentially provide a point-of-care, quantitative outcome measure in clinical trials and practice.

Recognition of Human Face Regions under Adverse Conditions—Face Masks and Glasses—In Thermographic Sanitary Barriers through Learning Transfer from an Object Detector

The COVID-19 pandemic has detrimentally affected people’s lives and the economies of many countries, causing disruption in the health, education, transport, and other sectors. Several countries have implemented sanitary barriers at airports, bus and train stations, company gates, and other shared spaces to detect patients with viral symptoms in an effort to contain the spread of the disease. As fever is one of the most recurrent disease symptoms, the demand for devices that measure skin (body surface) temperature has increased. The thermal imaging camera, also known as a thermal imager, is one such device used to measure temperature. It employs a technology known as infrared thermography and is a noninvasive, fast, and objective tool. This study employed machine learning transfer using You Only Look Once (YOLO) to detect the hottest temperatures in the regions of interest (ROIs) of the human face in thermographic images, allowing the identification of a febrile state in humans. The algorithms detect areas of interest in the thermographic images, such as the eyes, forehead, and ears, before analyzing the temperatures in these regions. The developed software achieved excellent performance in detecting the established areas of interest, adequately indicating the maximum temperature within each region of interest, and correctly choosing the maximum temperature among them.

Purpose: to present the scoping review protocol that will describe the diagnostic procedures used in infrared thermography to evaluate the human face. Methods: based on the Joanna Briggs Institute and PRISMA-ScR checklist, with the mnemonic: population (P) - human face, concept (C) - infrared thermography, and context (C) - diagnostic procedures in infrared thermography for the human face. The methodological structure will have six stages. The PubMed, LILACS, SciELO, BBO, Web of Science, EMBASE, Scopus, Cochrane Library, and Grey Literature Report databases will be searched, with no restriction on time or language. The review will include qualitative and quantitative studies. Two reviewers will independently select studies and extract data. Results will be analyzed using a variable approach. Conclusion: this scoping review protocol followed the methodological precepts and is apt to be carried out. It will serve as the basis for other scoping reviews. Conducting a scoping review is important and the prior publication of the scoping review protocol is essential to make the review process transparent.
