Abstract: Temperature imaging has been recognized to improve a variety of diagnostic and interventional procedures and to predict and prevent failures of electrical circuits and equipments. A system design and method is disclosed, wherein the thermal data is fused and mapped with the data streams coming from a US, CT, or MR scanner, giving the doctors or industrial investigators the impression of being working with a known US, CT, or MR system which has been augmented by the temperature mapping capability.
