Abstract :
Within the world-wide community of medical thermographers there is general agreement that standardisation in a number of aspects of thermography is both desirable and necessary if meaningful comparison of results between centres is to be achieved. This paper outlines the proposals for a draft Standard for medical thermography that will cover aspects of thermographic terminology, technique and application/interpretation of thermal images
