TLDR
The development of an image-processing program capable of producing images of the temperature difference between the affected side and the corresponding contralateral healthy side of the living body is described.Abstract:
The most common and most effective method for using thermography to detect abnormalities is to compare the thermographic image of the affected area with that of the corresponding contralateral healthy area, even though this method can be applied to cases with only hemilateral involvement. This paper describes the development of an image-processing program capable of producing images of the temperature difference between the affected side and the corresponding contralateral healthy side of the living body. The feasibility of the image-processing program was demonstrated by employing it for diagnostic purposes with actual clinical patients.read more

A reappraisal of the use of infrared thermal image analysis in medicine
TL;DR: While the use of infrared imaging is increasing in many industrial and security applications, it has declined in medicine probably because of the continued reliance on first generation cameras.

Entropy-based feature extraction and decision tree induction for breast cancer diagnosis with standardized thermograph images
Ming-Yih Lee,Chi-Shih Yang +1 more
TL;DR: In this study, a computer-assisted entropy-based feature extraction and decision tree induction protocol for breast cancer diagnosis using thermograph images was proposed and anatomical organ matching was utilized to identify the corresponding organ with the positive abnormal regions.

Assessment of lower limb prosthesis through wearable sensors and thermography.
TL;DR: The application of infrared thermography in combination with ambulatory wearable monitoring of temperature and relative humidity, to assess the residual limb-to-liner interface in lower-limb prosthesis users, has begun the development of a reference data set for optimal socket/liner-stump construction.
