Measurement of the infrared radiation emitted by the body surface. The detector changes its electrical conductivity under the influence of infrared radiation energy (photoconduction effect). A radiometer converts it into visible light, which is recorded photographically or densitometrically. Temperature differences of 0.2 °C can be recorded. The method is suitable for detecting peripheral circulatory disorders.
