Medical Thermography Technology – Purpose-Built for Clinical Precision
Not all thermography systems are created equal. At Spectron IR, we design and build complete medical-grade thermography solutions from the ground up—never retrofitting industrial products.
Built From the Ground Up for Medical Use
Unlike competitors who modify industrial thermal cameras, our systems are engineered exclusively for medical applications. This ensures superior clinical accuracy and performance.
Each system features:
- Custom-built hardware
- Advanced medical imaging software
- Input from medical professionals during design
We collaborate with experts in infrared sensing, image processing, and clinical thermography to deliver reliable, clinically validated systems.
Why Precision Matters
High specifications alone don’t guarantee clinical value. For example, pixel count means little if software misinterprets temperature shifts. Our technology combines precise engineering with adjunct diagnostic-focused software to deliver:
- High-resolution thermal imaging
- Consistent and sensitive temperature detection
- Reliable, repeatable results
- Software optimized specifically for clinical workflows
Designed With Practitioners in Mind
Clinicians told us what they needed most from a thermal imaging system, shaping everything from ergonomics to interface design. The result is a system that’s both powerful and intuitive for fast-paced clinical environments.

Technology FAQ – Infrared Sensing Explained
What is a microbolometer detector?
A microbolometer is a sensor that detects infrared radiation. Common materials include Amorphous Silicon, Barium Strontium Titanate, and Vanadium Oxide.
Spectron IR uses Vanadium Oxide exclusively in our 640×480 cameras for its superior thermal sensitivity and stability.
What does 320×240 or 640×480 resolution mean?
Resolution indicates the number of pixels forming the thermal image — 320×240 equals 76,800 sensors; 640×480 provides over four times that detail.
Resolution adds value only if supported by lens quality, sensor accuracy, and software optimization, which Spectron IR balances carefully.
What is spatial resolution?
Spatial resolution measures the ability to distinguish closely spaced heat sources, essential for detecting subtle vascular patterns.
Spectron IR systems achieve 0.50 mRad spatial resolution, ideal for clinical clarity.
How important is thermal sensitivity (NEDT)?
Extremely important. NEDT (Noise Equivalent Temperature Difference) represents the smallest temperature difference detectable by the camera.
Lower NEDT improves sensitivity and reduces noise, ensuring clearer, more accurate thermal images. Spectron IR systems minimize drift and enhance thermal stability.
Why is frame rate important?
Frame rate determines how quickly images update. Higher frame rates provide smoother real-time feedback for accurate focus and image capture.
Spectron IR’s 640×480 systems offer high-speed imaging with no lag.

Hardware Interface and Operations Software
Spectron IR’s interface is designed for efficiency. Operators capture, store, and analyze images using intuitive single-keystroke commands without complex menus.
Features include temperature reference points, isotherms, area averaging, and multiple color palettes for fast, functional use.
Why it works: Designed for technicians, not programmers, our interface is consistently praised as easy and effective.
Computerized Image Processing
Each thermal image includes full radiometric data. View over 100 images simultaneously and analyze them with 20 different palettes.
Advanced tools like topographic mapping, pinpoint temperature analysis, and digital subtraction are accessible with a single key. Presentation-ready exports simplify reporting.
