Automatic diagnostic and analysis of thermal images in medical practice
Main Article Content
Abstract
This paper describes an overview of the main approaches and applications of medical thermography and methods of analysis of thermograms. Describes the application of thermography and given advantages and disadvantages of these methods. The examples of thermograms describing pathologies and features indicating a change in the thermal pattern as compared with the absence of pathologies. The article also presents methods of automated processing and analysis of thermal images in medical applications. Also thermal technology (medical thermographs ), the main components and the technical capabilities of the equipment are shown. This article is a review and presents key excerpts of literature that related to thermography.
