A pilot study of a hand-held camera in a busy burn centre: Prediction of patient length of recuperation with wound temperature.

Aim: The aim of our study was to evaluate temperature differences of burns looking at their prognostic ability to predict healing at the 21 day mark.

Materials And Method: Thirty two burns in 26 patients aged 1-71 years old were photographed with a FLIR T650 camera. Environment, reflected, and body core temperature of the patients were measured.
