Medical Applications

Medical applications exclusively for research purposes.
No use of our equipment in the classical field of diagnostics in human and veterinary medicine as a medical device in accordance with Directive 93/42/EEC.

In general, the infrared technology is one area in the key medical pharmaceutical applications. Applications to be carried out investigations lead to any harmful stresses. Among the main tasks of the partially visible tumors and skin cancer attack. Circulatory disorders in venous thrombosis of the area and represents the vasoconstriction and a classical method for thermal imaging systems dar. Even with organ transplants, especially in the case of heart transplants experiencing the thermography a compelling justification. Especially with this online application method, the adaptation ability and blood flow quantity can be accurately and directly visualized at implantation. Recent experience has already done in the monitoring of laser ablation (eg, in ophthalmology) on. Even the online screening of temperature behavior in the field of confocal microscopy is more and more indispensable in biomedical research domain.

We expressly point out that it was not for the following equipment recommendations consist of certified medical devices. None of our thermal imaging cameras to meet the Directive 93/42/EEC and do not have the necessary EN standards for the specific CE certification for medical devices.
Representing in territories where the Directive 93/42/EEC is also advised not mandatory, to use our products for Diagnosezwecke particularly in human medicine. Our hochqulitativen products designed exclusively for research purposes and this turned off.

Thermography in the medical technology is a non-invasive method, thermal processes and states to make contact visible, many applications.
Heat balance and temperature regulation are factors in premature infants for survival, growth and prosperity of the utmost importance. For this reason it is important to measure the body temperature continuously. Systematic measurements of a variety of surface temperatures are not in newborns, especially premature, with disturbed vital functions with conventional resistance thermometers unreasonable and not feasible. With the help of a non-contact thermometry Infrarothermographie of body surface area in comparison. Comparison of thermography and Widerstandsthermometrie tests have yielded only minimal differences between the two methods. In thermography measurements in the temperature of human skin, can be achieved with an emission factor of 0.98 for accurate results. This supports the measurement accuracy. Infrared thermography can also be easily integrated into routine clinical procedure of neonatal units. Due to the compactness of the camera and computer unit, no problems arise in the end station or in handling the patients.

In the vicinity of malignant tumors are increasingly formed blood vessels. The blood vessels and the tumor, depending on the growth phase of lead in surface regions of elevated temperature. The resulting heat is conveyed in tumors Upper veins, so that a thermographic examination of arteries and veins near the surface makes sense. Tumors have in their cell division phase to higher temperatures than in the intermediate phase. Also applies: the higher the temperature of a tumor, the more malignant it is assessed, and the faster the tumor grows, the more heat it produces. These three effects can be detected with thermography, but not absolute, but only in comparison.

Thermography is a contact-free and yet effective method for the detection, identification and treatment of joint injuries, since such phenomena always go hand in hand with increases in temperature. Thermography provides precise localization of injury and supports the accurate determination of the spread of injury from the representation of the heat distribution of the tissue surrounding the injury. In horses occurring arthritis can be diagnosed easily. Furthermore, the use of thermography helps in monitoring the healing process of joint injuries and other ailments, as can be observed through regular studies, for instance, the decrease of the inflammatory tissue and the decrease of temperature difference. Thus, thermography is a useful means to improve rehabilitation techniques and to optimize the treatment schedule.

Thermography has been in the detection of fractures, bone fragments, poor circulation and inflamed muscles and ligaments already being used successfully. Unlike X-ray equipment, thermography is easily transportable and can be brought to the patient. Since thermography devices in real-time rendering with high temporal resolution, do not interfere with slight movements of the subjects the study.

By nervous disorders of the blood flow and thus disrupted the flow of heat. The heat flow difference within the human body, due to the reduction of blood flow through the core cross-section, one can localize on thermograms. Circulatory disorders can be directly e.g. identify problems in the feet and hands.
