Overview of Artificial Intelligence Based Biomedical Applications of Infrared Thermal Imag-ing

Abstract

Infrared thermal imaging is a non-invasive, harmless radiation-free non-contact mo-dality that allows monitoring of body temperature distribution and change. Providing physiological information about peripheral blood flow, autonomic nervous system, va-soconstriction / vasodilation, inflammation, sweating or other processes has expanded its use in the medical field. Developments in the field of artificial intelligence have also found response in medical applications, and machine learning methods have become used for many tasks such as decision making, disease monitoring, and surgical plan-ning. Using artificial intelligence methods to interpret thermal data can be an effective solution to provide doctors with a second opinion in a diagnosis, treatment planning or surgical evaluation scenario. The purpose of this research; To evaluate the functioning of artificial intelligence methods in medical applications such as classification and decision making of thermal imaging by examining the literature sources and to provide informa-tion about the literature.

Öz

Kızılötesi termal görüntüleme, vücut sıcaklığı dağılımının ve değişiminin izlenmesine izin veren invazif olmayan, zararlı radyasyon içermeyen, temassız bir modalitedir. Peri-ferik kan akışı, otonom sinir sistemi, vazokonstrüksiyon / vazodilatasyon, iltihaplanma, terleme veya diğer süreçler hakkında fizyolojik bilgiler sağlaması medikal alanda kul-lanımını yaygınlaştırmıştır. Yapay zekâ alanında yaşanan gelişmeler medikal uygula-malarda da karşılık bulmuş ve makine öğrenimi metotları; karar verme, hastalık takibi, cerrahi planlama gibi birçok görev için kullanılır hâle gelmiştir. Termal verilerin yo-rumlanması için yapay zekâ yöntemlerinin kullanılması, bir tanı, tedavi planlama veya cerrahi değerlendirme senaryosunda doktorlara ikinci bir görüş sağlamak için etkin bir çözüm olabilir. Bu araştırmanın amacı: Literatür kaynaklarının incelenerek termal gö-rüntülemenin medikal uygulamalardaki sınıflandırma, karar verme gibi süreçlerde yapay zekâ yöntemlerinin işleyişlerini değerlendirmek ve literatür hakkında bilgi sunmaktır.
