Infrared imaging Eugen Kvasnak, PhD. Department of Medical Biophysics and Informatics 3rd Medical Faculty of Charles University
Herschel 1800 - thermal radiation of the sun IRradiation - longer wavelength than light -mostly heat effects - invisible, not ionizing nearIR 0,8 – 25 μm - medical applications far IR 25 μm – 1 mm – meteorology, astronomy
IR imaging technique Emission principle IR photography thermography liquid crystals thermovision- b&w - colourthermovision camera - digital • Transmission principle • IR laser tomography
Technical thermography : • noktovision, meteorology • Medicalthermography – thermovision: • Noninvasive detection of human body energy • Recording of body surface distribution of temperatures • no radiation X thermometry – point temperature recording
Physical principles of thermovision E = k.T4 Planck’s law Wien law
Technical scheme of thermovision IR detector – semiconductor InSb - cooling by liquid N2(-196o C)
Clinical aplication Inflamatory proceses – joints, soft tissues Phlebology – vein trombosis Vascular cancer Ischemyof the limbs … Sudeck syndrom Head zones
Thermoregulation isothermalareas 37o 40o C
