Thermography entered my clinical practice like a true discovery. Contemplating the possibility of diagnosing aspects related to Chinese and functional medicine, I came across a tool that had been in use for years, with significant impact in Brazil and the United States. Clinical thermography is barely known in Spain, and I could almost say that I was a pioneer in its application to the Integrative concept since 2012. What is the main difference between clinical thermography and Integrative clinical thermography? Medical thermography is characterized by measuring anatomical areas that may suggest an alteration outside of a thermographic map constructed over decades of studies. To achieve this, an atlas with specific temperatures for each organism has been generated. Thermography embraces a concept that I love: the NONLINEAR. The nonlinear concept is rooted in the background of systems biology. Systems biology is characterized by the conception of any biological system from an integrated perspective of genes, proteins, and biochemical reactions, leading to biological processes. A stimulus at point X will produce a response in distal axes Y or Z in a chain, in a phenomenon with certain parallels to Tensegrity. It is highly recommended to understand this book to read my book "Fascia and Neurobiomechanical Reprogramming" (Ed. eNatura, 2022). Integrative thermography incorporates concepts from cross-disciplinary fields such as those derived from Eastern cultures and osteopathy. We are witnessing a gradual evolution where Health and Movement Sciences are understanding and incorporating such knowledge into clinical practice: chronobiology, trigger points, muscle chains, postural captors; these are technical terms that were described using language specific to the time and culture of that period. The nonlinear concept helps to generate a study with greater specificity and individualization of the subject. In a system as innovative as thermography, integrative thermography represents a change in perspective. Instead of studying injuries analytically, it allows for inferring cross-sectional readings of the individual by connecting different injuries or symptoms into a single physiological profile. Hence, thermography is also considered a precision tool. Why this work? There is extensive literature on medical thermography, and none, I dare say, in the field of Integrative Medicine as of this edition. I hope this work serves as a small tribute to the wealth of knowledge we are building from different perspectives in the field of Integrative Health. What this book is and what it is not. This book is a guide to understanding the fundamentals of thermography and how to approach it from different cross-disciplinary perspectives. This book is not a thermographic atlas, nor a book aimed at diagnosing medical conditions based on thermographic findings.
Infrared Thermography (IRT) is commonly as a NDE tool to identify damages and provide remedial action. The fields of application are vast, such as, materials science, life sciences and applied engineering. This book offers a collection of ten chapters with three major sections - relating to application of infrared thermography to study problems in materials science, agriculture, veterinary and sports fields as well as in engineering applications. Both mathematical modeling and experimental aspects of IRT are evenly discussed in this book. It is our sincere hope that the book meets the requirements of researchers in the domain and inspires more researchers to study IRT.
Despite success with treatment when diagnosed early, breast cancer is still one of the most fatal forms of cancer for women. Imaging diagnosis is still one of the most efficient ways to detect early breast changes with mammography among the most used techniques. However, there are other techniques that have emerged as alternatives or even complementary tests in the early detection of breast lesions (e.g., breast thermography and electrical impedance tomography). Artificial intelligence can be used to optimize image diagnosis, increasing the reliability of the reports and supporting professionals who do not have enough knowledge or experience to make good diagnoses. Biomedical Computing for Breast Cancer Detection and Diagnosis is a collection of research that presents a review of the physiology and anatomy of the breast; the dynamics of breast cancer; principles of pattern recognition, artificial neural networks, and computer graphics; and the breast imaging techniques and computational methods to support and optimize the diagnosis. While highlighting topics including mammograms, thermographic imaging, and intelligent systems, this book is ideally designed for medical oncologists, surgeons, biomedical engineers, medical imaging professionals, cancer researchers, academicians, and students in medicine, biomedicine, biomedical engineering, and computer science.
Many women are fearful about the health of their breasts because they fail to understand their own anatomy or how to promote breast wellness. Breast health requires knowledge about the risks of radiation, safe screening technologies, such as radiation-free thermography and ultrasound, the role of environmental estrogen disruptors , and easy ways to avoid daily exposure to chemical toxins.Thermography and the Fibrocystic and Dense Breast introduces clear medical choices that will increase the chances for maintaining healthy breasts. There is additional information on making healthy lifestyle choices to lower breast cancer risks through scientifically confirmed plant-based supplementation and detoxification advice. The book focuses upon prevention and empowering women to take responsibility for their own breast health at a time when trust in American health care is decreasing.
Infrared thermography (IRT) is a non-contact, non-invasive methodology which allows for detection of thermal energy that is radiated from objects in the infrared band of the electromagnetic spectrum, for conversion of such energy into a visible image (such as a surface temperature map). This feature represents a great potential to be exploited in a vast variety of fields from aerospace to civil engineering, to medicine, to agriculture, etc. However, IRT is still not adequately enclosed in industrial instrumentation and there are still potential users who might benefit from the use of such a technique and who are not aware of their existence. This e-book conveys information about basic IRT theory, infrared detectors, signal digitalization and applications of infrared thermography in many fields such as medicine, foodstuff conservation, fluid-dynamics, architecture, anthropology, condition monitoring, non destructive testing and evaluation of materials and structures. The volume promotes an exchange of information between the academic world and industry, and shares methodologies which were independently developed and applied in specific disciplines.
