This paper reviews the mechanism and assessment of regulated radiative heat dissipation, involving the circulatory system and the skin. It describes the quantitative assessment of skin temperature modulation. The main regulating process, which can be quantitatively monitored by fast and sensitive dynamic infrared imaging, involves autonomic nervous control of cutaneous and subcutaneous perfusion. This control is significantly affected by a variety of local or systemic pathologic conditions, including cancer and certain neuropathies. A potential clinical application that objectively assesses local attenuation of temperature modulation in the presence of breast cancer is described in some detail. Systemic aberrations in skin temperature modulation can be clinically useful also in neurology. It can be used also in psychology and psychiatry to evaluate transient effects of mental stress on the autonomic nervous system.
本文综述了涉及循环系统和皮肤的调节性辐射散热的机制及评估。它描述了皮肤温度调节的定量评估。主要调节过程可通过快速灵敏的动态红外成像进行定量监测，该过程涉及自主神经对皮肤和皮下灌注的控制。这种控制会受到多种局部或全身病理状况的显著影响，包括癌症和某些神经病变。本文还详细描述了一种潜在的临床应用，即在乳腺癌存在的情况下客观评估温度调节的局部减弱情况。皮肤温度调节的全身异常在神经病学中也可能具有临床应用价值。它还可用于心理学和精神病学，以评估精神压力对自主神经系统的短暂影响。
