UNSTEADY-STATE THERMOPHYSICAL MODELS FOR DETECTION OF  
PHYSIOLOGICAL AND PATHOLOGICAL CONDITIONS OF THE KIDNEY 
BY METHODS OF ACTIVE DYNAMIC IR THERMOGRAPHY

Unsteady-state  processes of biological heat transfer are simulated 
and their numerical  analysis is made to find  out  whether  it  is 
possible  to determine  thermal properties of the kidney by methods 
of  active  dynamic  IR  thermography.  Criteria  are developed for 
interpretation  of dynamic IR thermal charts for  medical diagnosis 
that noticeably increase its accuracy and reliability in comparison 
with the  present  potentialities  of  static  IR thermography. The 
analysis performed allows  thermal diagnostic interpretation of the 
dynamics  of  the  functioning  of  the kidney  in  normalcy and in 
a particular pathology.
