摘要 |
An approach to noninvasively, remotely and accurately detect core body temperature in a warm-blooded subject (20), human or animal, via thermal imaging. Preferred features such as the use of in-frame references (12, 14, 16), specific anatomical target regions and a physiological heat transfer model help the present invention to overcome pitfalls inherent with existing thermal imaging techniques applied to physiological screening applications. This invention provides the ability to non-invasively, remotely and rapidly screen for diseases or conditions that are characterized by changes in core body temperature. |
