Assessment Modality

Industrial infrared thermometry devices are large and, despite being less expensive than the current gold standard Exergen Dermatemp medical infrared thermometer, are still not affordable enough to ensure unrestricted and consistent use of this assessment modality in regular wound-related day-to-day practice. An increased skin surface temperature differentiation of 3°F associated with a wound has a positive predictive ability to detect deep or surrounding wound infection. This study hypothesised that inexpensive, pen- or pocket-sized, no-touch surface infrared thermometry devices will be equal in ability to detect a 3oF increased skin temperature compared to the Exergen Dermatemp infrared device and be reliable in the hands of any wound assessor. The odds of the control and other thermometers to detect a 3oF temperature difference, irrespective of the raters, were achieved in all five of the mini thermometers tested, with a correct temperature difference prediction that occurred in 90.933% of the times (odds determined 9/10). As a result of this study mini, no-touch infrared thermometry, to detect a 3oF temperature difference in wound assessment to determine tendency, could be implemented into primary health care clinics, rural clinics, day-to-day hospital practice and standard outpatients departments at a small financial cost, regardless of which thermometer is put to use.

This paper reports and compares Raman and infrared thermometry measurements along the legs and on the shuttle of a SOI (silicon on insulator) bent-beam thermal microactuator. Raman thermometry offers micron spatial resolution and measurement uncertainties of ±10 K. Typical data collection times are a minute per location leading to measurement times on the order of hours for a complete temperature profile. Infrared thermometry obtains a full-field measurement so the data collection time is on the order of a minute. The spatial resolution is determined by the pixel size, 25 μm by 25 μm for the system used, and infrared thermometry also has uncertainties of ±10 K after calibration with a nonpackaged sample. The Raman and infrared measured temperatures agreed both qualitatively and quantitatively. For example, when the thermal microactuator was operated at 7 V, the peak temperature on an interior leg is 437 K ± 10 K and 433 K ± 10 K from Raman and infrared thermometry, respectively. The two techniques are complementary for microsystems characterization when infrared imaging obtains a full-field temperature measurement and Raman thermometry interrogates regions for which higher spatial resolution is required.
