Abstract
Uncooled digital infrared focal plane arrays have added a new imaging capability for medical applications. Temperature sensitivity and spatial resolution previously limited to expensive space and military systems applications are now affordable for medical applications and as easy to use as a video camera. The paper presents the results to date obtained moving toward a 640×480 camera to be evaluated for medical applications
