Infrared thermography is a non-invasive imaging modality which is used to determine the skin surface temperature of any object, since every object emits thermal radiation when it is at a temperature above absolute zero. The heat content of inanimate matter and living beings differs, especially if these living beings have developed a physiological thermoregulation system leading to two different temperature compartments – a central one with maintained temperature and a peripheral shell with constantly changing temperature reflecting the heat exchange with the environment. It is essential to remember that temperature is one of the seven base quantities of the International ...
