Thermographic atlas of the human body

Abstract

The presented study deals with temperature distribution of healthy human bodies which were measured by infrared thermography. We used Infrared Imager with detector type 320×240 Focal Plane Array, Vanadium Oxide (VOx), Uncooled Microbolometer. A database of 240 thermograms from different position or locality of human body was created. The following eight views of human body were captured: TBA (Total Body — Anterior view), TBD (Total Body — Dorsal view), ToA (Torso — Anterior view), ToD (Torso — Dorsal view), DH (Dorsal side of Hand), PH (Palmar side of Hand), F (Foot) and FT (Facial Title). The database can be helpful in the diagnostics of many neurovascular and musculoskeletal diseases or injuries.
