OF THE FUNCTIONING KIDNEY BY MEANS OF INFRARED THERMOGRAPHY

Methods of biothermal modeling and analysis are used 
to determine the possibility of evaluation of the thermophysical 
parameters of the functioning kidney using infrared thermography. 
It is shown that the induced local heating from the outside enlarges 
the information content of medical thermography. It is shown that 
the main factor that determines thermographic visualization diagnostics 
is connected with the bloodflow. An analysis makes it possible to 
interpret thermographic situations for the kidney in the normal state 
and in the case of its particular pathology.
