USE OF INFRARED THERMAL CAMERA IN HEALTH FIELD

Öz

Infrared thermal camera (CTK) measures the surface temperature of the body and enables the detection of physiological or pathological changes occurring in the body. It has become an alternative method in the field of healthcare due to its advantages such as fast, contactless, reliable and non-invasive. In recent years, studies with infrared thermal cameras have increased to obtain correlations between thermal physiology and skin temperature. Infrared thermal camera is used as an alternative diagnostic tool in cancer, diabetic foot, peripheral diseases, ophthalmology, flap viability, surgical site infections, orthopedics, rheumatology and gynecology. This review was prepared to examine the literature on the use of infrared thermal cameras in healthcare fields.

Kızılötesi Termal Kameranın Sağlık Alanlarında Kullanımı

Öz

Kızılötesi termal kamera (KTK), vücudun yüzey sıcaklığını ölçerek vücutta meydana gelen fizyolojik veya patolojik değişikliklerin tespit edilebilmesini sağlar. Hızlı, temassız, güvenilir ve invaziv olmaması gibi avantajlarından dolayı sağlık alanında alternatif yöntem haline gelmiştir. Son yıllarda termal fizyoloji ile cilt sıcaklığı arasındaki korelasyonları elde etmek için kızılötesi termal kamerayla yapılan çalışmalar artmıştır. Kızılötesi termal kamera kanserde, diyabetik ayakta, periferik hastalıklarda, oftalmoloji, flep canlılığı, cerrahi alan enfeksiyonları, ortopedi, romatoloji, jinekoloji alanlarında alternatif tanı aracı olarak kullanılmaktadır. Bu derleme kızılötesi termal kameranın sağlık alanlarında kullanımına ilişkin literatürü incelemek amacıyla hazırlanmıştır.
