Active dynamic thermography in cardiosurgery

Abstract

Abstract The aim of this study is development and analysis of applicability of new tools for continuous inspection of open-heart cardio-surgical interventions, suitable in clinical environment. Our notice is concentrated on IR-thermal imaging for monitoring of invasive surgical interventions as CABG in treatment of ischaemia and other heart malfunctions. In this presentation preliminary results of in-vivo experiments on animals with the use of IR thermal camera and newly developed procedures of active dynamic thermography are discussed.
