INTRODUCTION --> The Software

The manufacturer of the camera, certified ISO-9001/2000, is a company that since 1980 works in designing and manufacturing of electronic devices for scientific equipments and power conversion.

Strong of the great experience reached in these twenty-five years of presence in the international market, the company has produced a medical infrared camera named “Thermo-Iewy”, that allows realizing a thermographic exam of the human body.

On the market are available a lot of different Infrared Camera. The fields of Application of this device are predictive maintenance, building diagnostic, process control, etc., that requires different spectral bands and sensibility.

The medical infrared camera “Thermo Iewy” is specially intended for medical application.

The Thermo/Iewy camera may be really named as one of the "top infrared camera in the world" because it has a lot of advantages, such as:

- Newest uncooled infrared sensor made with amorphous silicon (160x120 pixels matrix) that provides extremely high stability and sensitivity (0.08 Celsius degrees).

- Wide spectral range 7-14 micrometer allows getting the best thermal images of the human body.

- Modern infrared lens allows examining object with short and long distance with the same high quality.

- Independent video (NTSC or PAL) and USB 2.0 outputs allow to work in real mode with any TV (25 frame/s) and directly with PC (1 frame/s).

- The product is supported with special medical software. This software has a module constructed with real-time working with Thermo/IEWY infrared camera. In real-time operation mode with infrared camera is possible to improve the quality of received thermograms, using automatic adaptation of sensitivity and palette shifting. These functions allow receiving very colour-stable thermograms. Capturing utility has build-in automatic noise-reduction system and software interpolation algorithm that allows receive very clear images and increases the device resolution up to 640x480 pixels (16 times the hardware resolution). Moreover, our software offer 3D reconstruction of thermogram and a lot of useful plug-in (isotherms, histograms, etc) and palettes that allows examination of thermograms in a very easy way.

- Delivery kit is supported with "Medical Infrared Thermography" book that is a result of personal 20-years clinical practice of the author (Dr. Alexey Ovechkin) in application of infrared thermography in medicine. Physical basis of the method, review of modern infrared devices and physiological features of temperature are described. Clinical thermography chapter contains description of thermovisual symptoms of more than 200 diseases and pathological conditions, all cases are illustrated by corresponded thermograms, extracted from the personal databases of the author. The book contains 532 pages with 915 thermograms and 76 figures, 274 references. For today this book is a biggest and the most comprehensive manual on medical thermography in the World and may be used as manual on medical thermography by doctors and medical students, above all in the first approach towards thermography.

- The device has CE certificate, conforms the 93/42/EEC Medical Device Directive. About 95% of the thermographs present in the market are CE marked but don't satisfy the Medical Device Directive, because their principal fields of application are: Predictive Maintenance, Quality Control, Night Surveillance, etc. Instead our device is specifically designed and produced for Medical Application.

- The device has a guarantee period of 24 months.
