Abstract
This is an overview of active thermal imaging methods in medical diagnostics using external thermal stimulation. In this chapter, several clinical cases diagnosed using the active dynamic thermography method, ADT, are presented. Features of this technology are discussed and main advantages underlined. Applications in skin burn diagnostics and quantitative evaluation leading to modern classification of burned patients for further treatment are shown. Also the use of thermal imaging in cardiosurgery is discussed. A method of quantitative evaluation of the healing progress of post-cardiosurgery wounds is presented. The ADT method gives quantitative description of thermal structural data, supplementing well-established static thermal imaging that carry functional physiological information. Combination of both modalities supports the idea of modern multimodality approach in medical diagnostics.
