Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Thermal imaging is applied in numerous areas: military, factory maintenance, firefighting, medicine, biomedical engineering, dentistry, surgery, sports.
Applications in the areas of human health have revolutionized clinical practice in terms of diagnosis, patient monitoring, treatment follow-up, intra-surgical, and post-surgical procedures, among others.
More recently, artificial intelligence tools have encouraged the use of thermal imaging, increasing the sensitivity and specificity of this tool in different applications.
This Special Issue aims to publish original research, systematic reviews, technical communications, and technical protocols that help solidify the application of thermography in medicine.
Authors from related areas, who have used thermal imaging for basic research that has direct application in human health, such as research for the development of fabrics or equipment that improve thermoregulation, are also invited to participate in this Special Issue.
We invite authors who have used thermal images in the areas of human health, or who have developed some application of artificial intelligence or machine learning applicable to the processing or analysis of thermal images to contribute to the advancement of scientific knowledge by publishing their works.
