Thermogram of young infant suffering from burns
Thermogram of a frontal view of a young infant suffering from severe burns to her chest and abdomen. Burns appear as the hotter, white & yellow regions. A thermogram is a colour-coded image of heat distribution over the body surface that may be used in the assessment of some diseases. Variations in temperature (increases and decreases) are characteristic of certain types of disease or injury. The colour-coding ranges from white over the warmest areas to blue over the coolest. A temperature reference disc (blue circle) is calibrated at 32 degrees C. with the colour scale representing increments of 0.5 degrees C

EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures the heartbreaking reality of a young infant suffering from severe burns to her chest and abdomen. The thermogram, a color-coded image depicting heat distribution over the body surface, reveals the extent of her injuries. The burns are depicted as hotter regions in white and yellow tones, highlighting the intensity of pain she must be enduring. Thermography is an invaluable tool in assessing various diseases and injuries by detecting variations in temperature across the body. In this case, it serves as a visual representation of the devastating impact that burns can have on an individual's health. The color scale used in this thermogram ranges from white for warmer areas to blue for cooler ones, with a reference disc calibrated at 32 degrees Celsius. Each shade represents increments of 0.5 degrees Celsius, enabling medical professionals to accurately analyze temperature fluctuations associated with specific conditions. While difficult to witness, this photograph underscores the importance of healthcare professionals' tireless efforts to treat burn victims effectively. It also serves as a reminder of our collective responsibility to prevent such tragedies through education and safety measures. Science Photo Library has captured both the scientific significance and human aspect behind this image without exploiting it commercially or mentioning any company affiliation.
