Abstract

This chapter presents an overview on recent developments in the field of clinical applications of the functional infrared imaging. The functional infrared imaging is a relatively recent imaging methodology introduced for the study of the functional properties and alterations of the human thermoregulatory system for biomedical purposes. The methodology is based on the modeling of the bio-heat exchange processes and the recording of thermal infrared data by means of advanced technology. Some innovative applications of functional infrared imaging to diagnostics, psychometrics, stress measurements and psycho-neurophysiology will be presented, with special emphasis to the potentialities and the capabilities that such technique may bring to biomedical investigations.
