Overview

Thermography is a technology that creates and analyzes images by detecting the heat radiating from an object and organisms. There is a fact that every real body emits infrared radiation. It is possible to detect series of biosignals which are emited by human skin. One of them is emission of infrared radiation. The distribution of the surface temperature is directly related to the peripheral and central blood flow. The present work deals with this fact to evaluate revascularization. This present work is looking the possibility of using thermography for prediction other diseases associated with peripheral arterial disease.
