“…Infrared thermography (IRT) has been studied since 2012 for the assessment of BAT thermogenesis due to the heat-generating properties of BAT. The BAT thermogenesis under different stimulations including cold exposure, capsinoids injection, mental stress challenge and oral glucose tolerance test was monitored by IRT in separate studies [115][116][117][118][119][120][121][122][123][124][125]. The results indicate IRT could be a promising method for detecting BAT activation, not BAT mass.…”

Brown adipose tissue (BAT), a uniquely thermogenic tissue that plays an important role in metabolism and energy expenditure, has recently become a revived target in the fight against metabolic diseases, such as obesity, diabetes, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Different from white adipose tissue (WAT), the brown adipocytes have distinctive features including multilocular lipid droplets, a large number of mitochondria, and a high expression of uncoupling protein-1 (UCP-1), as well as abundant capillarity. These histologic characteristics provide an opportunity to differentiate BAT from WAT using imaging modalities, such as PET/CT, SPECT/CT, MRI, NIRF and Ultrasound. However, most of the reported imaging methods were BAT activation dependent, and the imaging signals could be affected by many factors, including environmental temperatures and the states of the sympathetic nervous system. Accurate BAT mass detection methods that are independent of temperature and hormone levels have the capacity to track the development and changes of BAT throughout the lifetime of mammals, and such methods could be very useful for the investigation of potential BAT-related therapies. In this review, we focus on molecular imaging modalities that can detect and quantify BAT mass. In addition, their detection mechanism and limitations will be discussed as well.

Background: In biomedicine, infrared thermography is the most promising technique among other conventional methods for revealing the differences in skin temperature, resulting from the irregular temperature dispersion, which is the significant signaling of diseases and disorders in human body. Given the process of detecting emitted thermal radiation of human body temperature by infrared imaging, we, in this study, present the current utility of thermal camera models namely FLIR and SEEK in biomedical applications as an extension of our previous article. Results: The most significant result is the differences between image qualities of the thermograms captured by thermal camera models. In other words, the image quality of the thermal images in FLIR One is higher than SEEK Compact PRO. However, the thermal images of FLIR One are noisier than SEEK Compact PRO since the thermal resolution of FLIR One is 160 × 120 while it is 320 × 240 in SEEK Compact PRO. Conclusion: Detecting and revealing the inhomogeneous temperature distribution on the injured toe of the subject, we, in this paper, analyzed the imaging results of two different smartphone-based thermal camera models by making comparison among various thermograms. Utilizing the feasibility of the proposed method for faster and comparative diagnosis in biomedical problems is the main contribution of this study.

“…3 FLIR and SEEK IR camera models as thermal detectors have been used, due to their high detection capacity, userfriendly operation, and portability. [4][5][6][7] In its application, the usage of such instrument requires additional processing in form of data science, which is an activity of extracting information from a series of complex data to generate further insight. [8][9][10] In general, temperature determines the phase and shape of matters, [11][12][13][14] and also affects chemical reactions and dynamic properties.…”

Temperature is one of crucial and integral parts of chemical experiments. Since the properties or shape of the material may change depending on the temperature, the device that measures it plays a vital role in an experiment. Such devices commonly used in experiments to this day are unable to perform temperature measurement and data processing simultaneously. Here, we present a low‐price, non‐contact convenient platform capable of solving both problems at the same time, with automatically set different measurement time intervals for each experiment, and shows processed data anywhere real‐time on the Internet. This device can operate within temperature range of −20 and 80 °C with a respectable error range of ±2.5 °C.
