Abstract
Body temperature is an important indicator that may indicate the possibility
of the existence of various pathological conditions and diseases. In the
head and neck area, an infrared camera allows accurate temperature
measurements of all regions of interest. The analysis of temperature
characteristics of the region of interest of the head and neck in healthy
subjects in terms of comparison of values in relation to the side of the
face in the same person, and the comparison of values relative to the sex of
the subjects is the topic of this research. These analyses are performed to
create temperature maps of the face and determine physiological values. The
research was conducted with the participation of 30 healthy people, 16 women
and 14 men of different ages. Thermal imaging was performed in controlled
conditions with infrared thermographic camera Varioscan 3021ST, while the
software package IRBIS Professional 2.2 was used for thermogram analysis.
Results show that the temperatures in female subjects at the submandibular
region are significantly lower than in male subjects with an average
temperature difference of 0.46?C, and the temperatures in female subjects at
the supraorbital region are on average 0.5?C higher than in male subjects.
