Infrared (IR) imaging is a collection of non-invasive imaging techniques that
utilize the IR domain of the electromagnetic spectrum for tissue assessment. A
subset of these techniques construct images using back-reflected light, while
other techniques rely on detection of IR radiation emitted by the tissue as a
result of its temperature. Modern IR detectors sense thermal emissions and
produce a heat map of surface temperature distribution in tissues. Thus, the IR
spectrum offers a variety of imaging applications particularly useful in clinical
diagnostic area, ranging from high-resolution, depth-resolved visualization of
tissue to temperature variation assessment. These techniques have been helpful in
the diagnosis of many medical conditions including skin/breast cancer, arthritis,
allergy, burns, and others. In this review, we discuss current roles of
IR-imaging techniques for diagnostic applications in dermatology with an emphasis
on skin cancer, allergies, blisters, burns and wounds.
