Application of thermal imaging technology

Applications of infrared thermal imaging in medicine:

Professional doctors can conduct a comprehensive and systematic analysis of the patient's whole body condition based on clinical practice, overcoming the one-sidedness of other diagnostic techniques that are limited to a certain part. Nowadays, the application of far-infrared thermal imaging technology can detect more than 100 diseases such as inflammation, tumors, stones, vascular diseases, nervous system, sub-health, etc., involving common and frequently-occurring diseases in various systems of the human body.

Many imaging instruments cause varying degrees of harm to the human body, but far-infrared thermal imaging diagnosis does not produce any rays and does not require labeled drugs. Therefore, it will not cause any harm to the human body, will not cause any pollution to the environment, and is simple and economical. Far-infrared thermal imaging technology realizes mankind's dream of pursuing green health, and people vividly call this technology "green physical examination".

Compared with X-ray, B-ultrasound, CT and other imaging technologies, one of the most important advantages of far-infrared thermal imaging detection is early warning. Although X-ray, B-ultrasound, CT and other technologies have their own characteristics, they can only be discovered after the disease has formed. Before the disease changes in tissue structure and morphology, cell metabolism will be abnormal, and the body's temperature will change. High and low, the shape of the temperature field and the size of the temperature difference can reflect the location, nature and extent of the disease. Far-infrared thermal imaging technology detects diseases based on abnormalities in human body temperature, so it can interpret potential risks without obvious physical signs in the body and detect problems earlier. Some data show that far-infrared thermal images can detect lesions half a year or even earlier than structural images, gaining valuable time for early detection and prevention of diseases.

Application of infrared thermal imaging in fire protection:

In large areas of forest, fires are often caused by hidden fires that are not obvious. This is the root cause of devastating fires. It is difficult to detect such hidden signs of fire using existing ordinary methods. However, using aircraft patrols and infrared thermal imaging cameras can quickly and effectively detect these hidden fires and eliminate them at the earliest stage. Thermal imaging cameras can also be used to detect bad contacts in electrical equipment, as well as overheated mechanical parts, which can cause serious short circuits and fires.

Application of infrared thermal imaging in security prevention:

Due to its unique features and functions, external thermal imaging cameras have been widely used in security systems and have become stars in security monitoring systems. The infrared thermal imaging camera has a covert detection function. It does not require visible light and can make criminals unaware of their working location and existence, thus causing misjudgments and leading to the exposure of criminal acts.

In some very important units, such as: important administrative centers, bank vaults, confidential rooms, military locations, prisons, etc., this infrared thermal imaging camera is especially used. It can be in operation 24 hours a day and can be used at any time. Analyze the background data. Once changes occur, an alarm can be issued in time. The relevant situation can be automatically processed through the processing of smart devices, and the situation can be reported at any time to obtain further processing opinions.

For these special and important departments, the sensitivity of their prevention is much higher than that of other prevention systems. For example, after work in these units, as long as someone is hiding inside, the system will generate an alarm signal.

Applications of infrared thermal imaging in military:

Infrared thermal imaging devices and systems have been used as military supplies to equip troops for reconnaissance, surveillance, observation, tracking, targeting and navigation. After entering the 1990s, the military of various countries faced the new situation of modern warfare and future information warfare requirements, and put forward higher requirements for thermal imaging technology. It is hoped that infrared thermal imaging devices and systems produced in the future will have better performance, such as smaller size and lighter mass, higher resolution and sensitivity, longer range, lower price, etc. For this reason, in order to extend the service life of first-generation infrared thermal imaging devices and systems, European and American countries are currently using advanced technology to transform first-generation infrared thermal imaging devices and systems. At the same time, we will continue to develop new second-generation thermal imaging technology products and expand its application scope.
