Investigation of Skin Burns Basing on Active Thermography.

摘要

Use of the dynamic thermography for assessment of burns is discussed. Animal in-vivo experiments are presented - sets of burns were inflicted on the backs of eight domestic pigs. Thermographic measurements of burns with different depth of affected tissue (from the first to the third-degree burns) are correlated with histopathologic analysis of lesions. The results show that dynamic thermography might be advice as a simple, non-invasive and non-stressed for patients diagnostic tool. Further analysis of dynamic pictures gives the first estimate of the depth of a lesion.
