About

    Thermography is a diagnostic imaging technique that uses infrared cameras to detect and measure the temperature distribution on the surface of an object or living organism. This non-invasive method allows for the visualization of heat patterns that can indicate underlying issues such as inflammation, circulation problems, or abnormalities in tissues. Thermography is commonly used in medical applications, such as breast cancer detection, as well as in industrial and building inspections to identify areas of energy loss or overheating. The technology is based on the principle that different materials emit and absorb infrared radiation at different rates, allowing for the creation of detailed thermal images that can aid in diagnosis and analysis.
