INTRODUCTION
Infrared thermal imaging, or thermography, is a technique used to measure body surface temperature in the study of thermoregulation. Researchers are beginning to use this novel methodology to study cancer, peripheral vascular disease, and wound management.
METHODS
The authors tested the feasibility of using an FLIR SC640 uncooled, infrared camera to measure body temperature in neonates housed in heated, humid incubators. The authors examined thermograms to analyze distributions between central and peripheral body temperature in extremely low birth weight infants. The authors have also used this technology to examine the relationship between body temperature and development of necrotizing enterocolitis in premature infants.
RESULTS
Handheld, uncooled, infrared cameras are easy to use and produce high-quality thermograms that can be visualized in grayscale or color palettes to enhance qualitative and quantitative analyses.
CONCLUSION
Future research will benefit from the use of this noninvasive, inexpensive measurement tool. Nurse researchers can use this methodology in adult and infant populations to study temperature differentials present in pathological conditions.
简介
红外热成像，或热成像，是一种用于测量体温调节研究中体表温度的技术。研究人员开始使用这种新方法来研究癌症、周围血管疾病和伤口管理。
方法
作者测试了使用 FLIR SC640 非制冷型红外摄像机测量放置在加热、潮湿孵化器中的新生儿体温的可行性。作者检查了热图像，以分析超低出生体重儿的中心和外周体温分布。作者还使用这项技术研究了早产儿体温与坏死性小肠结肠炎发展之间的关系。
结果
手持式、非制冷型红外摄像机易于使用，可生成高质量的热图像，可在灰度或调色板中可视化，以增强定性和定量分析。
结论
未来的研究将受益于使用这种非侵入性、廉价的测量工具。护士研究人员可以在成人和婴儿人群中使用这种方法来研究病理条件下存在的温度差异。
