Abstract

Infrared thermography (IRT) is a non-destructive imaging technique that is used for revealing temperature differences on the surfaces of the human body or objects. Once it is used for biomedical purpose, it measures the emitted radiation on the surfaces of the human body. We, in this research, present Biomedical Infrared Thermography (B-IRT) applications with various measurement methods, analysis types, analysis schemes and study types from the existing literature in a detailed literature matrix. A mini-review of 30 studies from the literature are summarized through focusing on substantial features and backgrounds. Finally, recent advances and future opportunities are also presented to highlight high potential use of IRT in biomedical applications.
