Live Demonstration: A Customizable Medical IR Imaging System for Clinical Diagnosis

Thermography imaging has great potential for the diagnosis and follow-up of clinical entities that alter body temperature locally [1]. Infrared (IR) cameras have dropped in price during the last ten years. Nowadays, they are compatible with clinical use because they provide immediate results, do not require physical contact with the patient, and their images are easy to interpret. In particular, vascular anomalies constitute a vast family of clinical entities that alter body temperature and can exploit this emerging imaging modality [2]. Many IR systems devoted to the medical field are available in the market. However, to the best of our knowledge, there is a lack of customizable systems easily adaptable to particular medical application scenarios by incorporating different peripherals or sensors and embedding custom image processing algorithms. Commercial IR systems are limited to image acquisition.
