Studies Supporting Medical Thermography

Over the years, clinical research has demonstrated the effectiveness of thermal imaging for assessing a wide variety of health concerns. This non-invasive, radiation-free technique provides healthcare professionals with valuable physiological insights.

Spectron IR has compiled a library of peer-reviewed publications showcasing infrared imaging’s clinical applications. These include articles from reputable sources such as the American Journal of Surgery, Rheumatology, the European Journal of Applied Physiology, and the Journal of Urology.

Several projects featured here originate from top research institutions—Duke University, the North Shore LIJ Research Institute, Rabin Medical Center in Tel Aviv, SUNY, and University Clinic Essen in Germany.

The highlighted publications span topics such as breast screening, inflammation, vascular assessment, and sports injury diagnostics. As the field continues to evolve, Spectron IR is committed to sharing relevant, high-quality findings that inform and support best practices in patient care.
