A brief History of Thermography. |
|
Thermography is really a visual representation of different temperatures. Older people may recognise early thermal imaging devices from their military applications in the 1960's as night sights and "see in the dark" devices. Clinical Thermography first came into the spotlight in the early 1970's, and for a short while was thought of as the 'in thing' in medical imaging. At that time, the medical community and Thermographers tried to make thermography something that the body's physiology and the thermal imaging technology of the day would never allow it to be, a stand-alone diagnostic test. In the early 70's, investigative medical equipment was crude and unreliable and far less definitive than today. The level of computing in the 1970's reflects accurately many of the medical imaging tests of the day. Likewise, few would argue that huge advances have happened over the past three decades; advanced CT and MRI machines, Doppler ultrasound, digital subtraction angiography,.. the list goes on and on. Digital Infrared Thermal Imaging (DITI) has also developed exponentially with the accompanying advances in technology. With the power of computers available today, and technological advances in electronic cooling and miniaturisation of solid state electronics, today's advanced thermal imaging units bear as much resemblance to the thermographic liquid crystal sheets of the seventies as does the latest F22 jet fighter aircraft to the Wright Brother's "Kittyhawk". To illustrate the starting point of thermography, a thermogram was displayed on an oscilloscope or liquid crystal thermal reactive pad, and in many cases, to preserve the information a Polaroid picture of the display was taken! Today's DITI unit is a technologically advanced imaging system that is precise, accurate, and most importantly of all, produces replicable results. It is the ability to produce reliable, clinically significant, replicable and objective data that sets DITI technology apart from all other thermographic scanning devices. |
