Differences in surface temperature between evaporating and nonevaporating, partial- and full-thickness burn injuries were studied in 20 male, white guinea pigs. Evaporative cooling can disguise the temperature differential of the partial-thickness injury and lead to a false full-thickness diagnosis. A full-thickness burn with blister intact may retain enough heat to result in a false partial-thickness diagnosis. By the fourth postburn day, formation of a dry eschar may allow a surface temperature measurement without the complication of differential evaporation. For earlier use of thermographic information, evaporation effects must be accounted for or eliminated.
在20只雄性白色豚鼠身上研究了蒸发和非蒸发、部分厚度和全层烧伤创面温度的差异。蒸发散热会掩盖部分厚度烧伤的温差，导致错误的全层诊断。水泡完整的全层烧伤可能保留足够的热量，导致错误的部分厚度诊断。烧伤后第四天，干燥焦痂的形成可使表面温度测量不受蒸发差异的影响。为了更早地利用热成像信息，必须考虑或消除蒸发效应。
