EC Clinical and Medical Case Reports

The physical and biophysical properties of thermal radiation are used in medicine, in particular for diagnostic purposes. Inflammatory processes change the local body temperature. Therefore, remote recording of electromagnetic radiation signals from different parts of the human body allows non-contact and non-invasive determination of their temperature. This diagnostic method is called thermography or thermal imaging. Experimental studies of medical applications of the thermography method have shown that the process of temperature relaxation is characterized by a gradual approach of temperature to its equilibrium value in the form of free damped temperature oscillations, as a result of non-linear feedback effects in the human body.
