Anwendungsmöglichkeiten der modernen Thermografie – Erste Erfahrungen mit dem neuen Tomey TG 1000

Zusammenfassung

Temperatur ist ein fundamentales Charakteristikum des Gewebestoffwechsels und von hohem Interesse in der Beurteilung der okulären Physiologie. Aktuelle Gerätschaften bieten die Möglichkeit, die Augenoberfläche mit hoher Auflösung und Exaktheit zu vermessen. Potenzielle Einsatzgebiete beinhalten eine Vielzahl von Veränderungen der Augenoberfläche. Der vorliegende Beitrag soll verschiedene Anwendungsmöglichkeiten der modernen Thermografie zusammenfassend darstellen und erste Erfahrungen mit dem neuen Thermografiegerät Tomey TG 1000 präsentieren.

Abstract

Temperature is one of the fundamental characteristics of tissue metabolism and is certainly of major interest to investigate ocular physiology. Current instrumentation offers the potential to measure the ocular surface temperature (OST) with high accuracy and resolution. Potential applications of OST measurement may include any condition of the ocular surface. The present study gives a survey of the possible applications of thermography and describes our first experience with the new Tomey TG 1000.
