Abstract: A system for determining a clinically relevant temperature differential between a predetermined area of clinical interest on the body surface of a mammal and a control area on the body surface of the mammal. The system includes an image capturing device having a housing, and a visual image capturing device and a thermal image capturing device disposed within the housing. The system also includes a display apparatus on which a captured visual image including the area of clinical interest and a captured thermal image are displayed, and a computing apparatus operatively connected to the image capturing device and to the display apparatus. The computing apparatus includes means for determining a temperature differential between the area of clinical interest and a selected control area on the body surface of the mammal, and means for overlaying the visual image onto the thermal image in a desired orientation on the display apparatus.

Abstract: A system for determining a clinically relevant temperature differential between a predetermined area of clinical interest on the body surface of a mammal and a control area on the body surface of the mammal. The system includes an image capturing device that has a housing, visual and thermal image capturing devices therein, and a display apparatus on which a visual image including the area of clinical interest and a thermal image, each captured by the image capturing device, are displayed. A computing apparatus is operatively connected to the image capturing device and to the display apparatus, and includes means for determining a temperature differential between the area of clinical interest and a selected control area, and means for applying to the thermal image a unique pixel value to a specific predetermined range of temperature differentials between the area of clinical interest and the control area.

Abstract: A system for determining a clinically relevant temperature differential between a predetermined area of interest on the body surface of a mammal and a control area on the body surface of said mammal, said system comprising: a visual and thermal image capturing device, said image capturing device comprising: a housing, a means for capturing a digital visual image within said housing; and a means for capturing a digital thermal image within said housing; a display apparatus, said display apparatus comprising means for showing said captured visual image and said captured thermal image; and a computing apparatus, said computing apparatus operatively connected to said image capturing device and to said display apparatus, said computing apparatus comprising: a means for selecting a control area on the surface of the skin; a means for determining an temperature of said control area; a means for selecting an area of clinical interest within said visual image; a means for calculating plane geometric features of said s

Abstract: Through the measurement and interpretation of the pixels of grayscale digital thermographic images of abnormalities of the skin and its subcutaneous tissue, early intervention and treatment of abnormalities of the skin and its subcutaneous tissue are possible, thereby assisting clinicians in making significant impacts on prevention and treatment.
