Thermal imaging or Infrared thermography are modes of image acquisition which capture the infrared radiation emitted by any object with a temperature above 0 kelvin. Thermal images thus give information about the skin surface temperature of the object being monitored. This research aims to study the effects of pathologies or conditions of interest on the skin surface temperature in humans. One area being studied is the effects of diabetes and peripheral arterial disease on the thermal signatures of patients' limbs. Using state-of-the-art thermal cameras, the thermal patterns emitted at the cutaneous level as infra-red radiation are picked up and studied and the suitability of such devices to monitor these conditions is evaluated.

Another research utilises thermographic techniques to study the sub-cutaneous thermal signature of amniotic fluid within a mother's womb. The aim is to assess the possibility of using thermal cameras to quantify the amount of amniotic fluid present, as the latter measure is used by clinicians to gauge the baby's health.
