Vagner Sargentelli, Jose Antonio Martins

Abstract: Thermography is knowledge to measure variation temperature in different part of the body and correlate with illnesses. Infrared Thermography (IRT) is a technique that allows for the rapid and non-invasive recording of radiation energy that is released from the body. Despite this, the use of IRT applied to thermography analysis yet is a new approach, and, mainly and especially when the focus is on hand analysis. The purpose of this mini-review is to present this technique in determining of the temperature of the hands applied to the investigations of diseases.

Keywords: Infrared thermography, human hands, diseases
