[An automated thermographic complex: new possibilities of the diagnosis of ORL disease].

The Kiev Research Institute of Otorhinolaryngology has built an automatic diagnostic system that includes a Raduga thermograph and a CM-1403 computer. The diagnostic algorithms are based on the thermosemiotics of ENT inflammatory diseases developed by the authors. The advantages of the system are: production of a hard copy of thermograms, registration and long storage of information, mathematical treatment of thermal images, data base and rapid search for the thermogram needed, screening diagnosis based on the "healthy-sick" principle.
