The evolution of technological advances in infrared sensor
technology, image processing, "smart" algorithms, knowledge-based
databases, and their overall system integration has resulted in new
methods of research and use in medical infrared imaging. The
development of infrared cameras with focal plane arrays no longer
requiring cooling, added a new dimension to this modality. Medical
Infrared Imaging: Principles and Practices covers new ideas,
concepts, and technologies along with historical background and
clinical applications. The book begins by exploring worldwide
advances in the medical applications of thermal imaging systems. It
covers technology and hardware including detectors, detector
materials, un-cooled focal plane arrays, high performance systems,
camera characterization, electronics for on-chip image processing,
optics, and cost-reduction designs. It then discusses the
physiological basis of the thermal signature and its interpretation
in a medical setting. The book also covers novel and emerging
techniques, the complexities and importance of protocols for
effective and reproducible results, storage and retrieval of
thermal images, and ethical obligations. Of interest to both the
medical and biomedical engineering communities, the book explores
many opportunities for developing and conducting multidisciplinary
research in many areas of medical infrared imaging. These range
from clinical quantification to intelligent image processing for
enhancement of the interpretation of images, and for further
development of user-friendly high-resolution thermal cameras. These
would enable the wide use of infrared imaging as a viable,
noninvasive, low-cost, first-line detection modality.
