Medical infrared thermography (IT) produces an image of the infrared waves emitted by the human body as part of the thermoregulation process that can vary in intensity based on the health of the person. This review analyzes recent developments in the use of infrared thermography as a screening and diagnostic tool in clinical and nonclinical settings, and identifies possible future routes for improvement of the method. Currently, infrared thermography is not considered to be a fully reliable diagnostic method. If standard infrared protocol is established and a normative database is available, infrared thermography may become a reliable method for detecting inflammatory processes.
医学红外热成像（IT）生成人体在体温调节过程中发出的红外波图像，其强度会因人体健康状况而有所不同。本综述分析了红外热成像在临床和非临床环境中作为筛查和诊断工具的最新进展，并确定了该方法未来可能的改进途径。目前，红外热成像不被认为是一种完全可靠的诊断方法。如果建立了标准红外协议并拥有规范数据库，红外热成像可能会成为检测炎症过程的可靠方法。
