From the historic and simple assessment of temperature by the clinical thermometer, modern infrared technology has opened up new perspectives, especially in the use of thermal imaging to map body surface temperature with a remote sensing camera. Since the 1960s, there is now a greater understanding of thermal physiology and the relationship between skin temperature and blood perfusion. Furthermore, the examination technique, and the advantages of computer-aided digital imaging has greatly improved the reliability of this technology in medicine. Studies in diabetology have shown the value of this new facility and its relevance to clinical assessment of peripheral perfusion and tissue viability.
从临床体温计对体温进行的历史性简单评估，到现代红外技术开辟了新的前景，尤其是在使用热成像技术通过遥感相机绘制体表温度方面。自20世纪60年代以来，人们对热生理学以及皮肤温度与血液灌注之间的关系有了更深入的了解。此外，检查技术以及计算机辅助数字成像的优势极大地提高了该技术在医学上的可靠性。糖尿病学研究已经表明了这项新设备的价值及其与外周灌注和组织活力临床评估的相关性。
