Abstract

This chapter is related to a scanning method for measuring a skin surface temperature distribution of a patient’s body with a burn wound. Results can be used for medical diagnostics in order to evaluate the skin burn depth. 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 device for recording thermal images was created. The chapter concerns the description of merging algorithm of these images which is based on the mathematical formulas. In the final part of this chapter, some simulation results are shown.
