1. What is the difference between uncooled and cooled IR detectors?

There are currently two types of infrared thermal imaging sensors on the market, cooled and uncooled.

Uncooled IR detector operates at ambient temperature. It is based on semi-conductor industry and thus usually can be fabricated in big volume with small size and low cost. Uncooled IR detectors are widely used in portable/handheld/mobile devices.

Cooled IR detectors are packaged in a unit that keeps them at an extremely low temperature which shall be supported by a cryo cooler. They are much bigger, more expensive and less reliable than uncooled sensors, mainly due to the complex cooling systems they require. However, the cooled systems are incredibly sensitive and usually work with long focal length optics to achieve long range mission.

2. What is the Advantages of Medical Thermal Imaging?

Medical testing is the first step in medical diagnosis, and many of the current tests to assess organ health are invasive and uncomfortable. While thermal imaging combined with medical examination can solve this problem very well.
By using thermal imaging technology, doctors can carry out 100% safe, no radiation, non-invasive, non-contact full body checkup to avoid further, unnecessary testing procedures. The heat distribution in various parts of human body can be quickly shown to early detect and diagnose physical abnormalities, so that any further treatment can be easier and more effective.
