Application of thermal imaging for early diagnostic of maxillofacial pathology

Rimas Adaškevičius

Abstract


We present a method for diagnostic of maxillofacial pathology using thermal imaging. It is based on the principle that the temperature of the area surrounding the damaged, prie-cancerous and cancerous tissue is higher than that of a normal tissue. It was found, that face surface temperature asymmetry higher than 0,4oC was associated with the presence of abnormality.
