Abstract
Within the project entitled ”The diagnostic system supporting the healing process of burn and chronic wounds” funded by The Polish National Centre of Research and Development the diagnostic system and device for recording thermal images/videos was created. The paper concerns the description of the prototype of the device registering encircling thermograms and video images.
The novelty consists in using 3D thermal imaging techniques in the analysis of circumferential burns, for which 2D thermography is insufficient. Developed instrument records thermograms, both radial and longitudinal, alongside the scanned object, which allows recording of temperature field on large body surfaces with improved measuring accuracy as compared with classic 2D thermograms.
