AI Article Synopsis
- * Non-contact imaging methods like infrared thermography show promise due to their ability to detect heat radiation linked to malignant changes, but they haven't been fully developed for widespread use yet.
- * There is a need for more research to create effective, large-scale thermographic screening systems, as current evidence and practical tools for mass implementation are lacking.
Article Abstract
The incidence of skin cancer is rising continuously. The time of diagnosis is decisive for the morbidity and mortality risk of patients. An optimal screening procedure has yet to be established. Non-contact imaging methods are of great interest but have not yet been sufficiently developed and investigated for large-scale use. Compared to digital photography, infrared thermography offers the additional information of heat radiation from the skin surface, which correlates strongly with malignant changes. Literature on the current scientific status of screening, diagnosis and monitoring of skin cancer using thermographic procedures was identified in PubMed, Embase, and Google Scholar. From a technical and information technology point of view, infrared thermography is very well suited for use as a non-invasive, cost-effective, time-saving, and easy-to-use screening instrument. However, there is still a lack of reliable evidence and practical implementation in 3D systems suitable for mass use. Research in this area should be intensified in order to develop, test and establish applicable systems on a large scale.

Range and accuracy of in-plane anisotropic thermal conductivity measurement using the laser-based Ångstrom method.
Rev Sci Instrum

High heat fluxes in electronic devices must be effectively dissipated to prevent local hotspots, which are critical for long-term device reliability. In particular, advanced semiconductor packaging trends toward thin form factor products increase the need for understanding and improving in-plane conduction heat spreading in anisotropic materials. The 2D laser-based Ångstrom method, an extension of traditional Ångstrom and lock-in thermography techniques, measures in-plane thermal properties of anisotropic sheet-like materials.

This study aimed to evaluate ocular surface temperature (OST) in post-COVID-19 patients with different degrees of fever via infrared thermal imaging. There were 16 participants (32 eyes) in the control group, 22 participants (44 eyes) in the moderate and low post-COVID-19 fever group (M & L fever group), and 18 participants (36 eyes) in the high post-COVID-19 fever group (H fever group). All participants underwent an ophthalmic slit lamp examination and ocular thermography.

Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia (FFA) is a primary lymphocytic cicatricial alopecia predominantly affecting postmenopausal Caucasian women. It is characterized by a progressive frontotemporal hairline recession that presents as a scarring hairless band and is often accompanied by eyebrow and body hair loss. Although initially described in postmenopausal women, FFA has been observed in a broader demographic, including premenopausal women and occasionally men.

Background: Infrared thermography technology is a diagnostic imaging modality that converts temperature information on the surface of the human body into visualised thermograms. This technology has the capacity to intuitively detect the presence of certain abnormal conditions or foci in the human body. In recent years, the application of this technology in medicine has become increasingly extensive, especially in the areas of auxiliary diagnosis and early screening of diseases.
