Monitoring Blood Flow with Thermal Cameras
Monitoring Blood Flow with Thermal Cameras
NRC researchers are using thermographic cameras (bottom left corner) to design tools for physicians to rapidly identify tissue damage. Thermographic video cameras record infrared radiation, or heat, rather than visible light. This heat imaging camera is thus able to identify differences in blood flow. Warmer areas have greater blood flow, and areas of tissue damage will register abnormally low levels of flow and thus heat. Here, a healthy subject's nose has less blood flow and is cooler (bluer) than her cheeks and the sides of her neck which are warmer (redder).
