The human body dissipates 60 % of its heat by emitting infrared radiation, it can be studied using Infrared Thermography (IRT). IRT images serve as thermal maps of the body, useful in medical applications to investigate the physiopathological of diseases that present symptoms such as swelling, pain, infection, rash, and increased local skin temperature.
To design a protocol to capture IRT images before and after physical activity. The protocol collects skin temperature data of the entire body, in the frontal (anterior and posterior) and sagittal (right and left) planes.
The protocol was designed considering clinical, environmental, and technical factors and ensuring its reproducibility in both healthy and pathological populations. Thermographic images were acquired both at rest and after thermal stress (modified Bruce test). In addition, questionnaires were prepared to collect and store information on demographic data, core temperature, environmental conditions, pain perception, and level of physical activity.
The protocol combines the acquisition of IRT images with the application of the modified Bruce protocol on a treadmill as a thermal stress generator.
This protocol offers a valuable tool for studying the thermoregulatory capacity of the human body in the presence of different medical conditions.
人体通过发射红外辐射散发60%的热量,可使用红外热成像(IRT)进行研究。IRT图像可作为人体的热图,在医学应用中有助于研究出现肿胀、疼痛、感染、皮疹和局部皮肤温度升高等症状的疾病的病理生理情况。
设计一种在体育活动前后采集IRT图像的方案。该方案收集全身在额面(前后)和矢状面(左右)的皮肤温度数据。
设计该方案时考虑了临床、环境和技术因素,并确保其在健康人群和患病群体中均可重复使用。在静息状态和热应激后(改良布鲁斯试验)采集热成像图像。此外,还准备了问卷以收集和存储有关人口统计学数据、核心温度、环境条件、疼痛感知和体育活动水平的信息。
该方案将IRT图像采集与在跑步机上应用改良布鲁斯方案作为热应激发生器相结合。
该方案为研究在不同医疗条件下人体的体温调节能力提供了一个有价值的工具。
