thermography

The process of using an infrared camera to produce an image that shows the temperature distribution across a surface. / A medical imaging technique that records the infrared thermal radiation emitted from the body to detect abnormalities such as inflammation or tumors.
Noun

This term describes a specialized imaging process that translates temperature variations into visual maps. It is used across diverse fields, from industrial engineering to medicine, to detect anomalies that are invisible to the naked eye, such as electrical faults or biological inflammation.

In a medical context, it is often framed as a complementary or screening tool rather than a primary diagnostic method. Because it measures surface heat rather than internal structure, it is frequently contrasted with modalities like mammography or MRI.
