| Infrared thermographic imaging (IRT) of human body is currently used in various medical conditions including cancer detection, fever scanning, vascular problems, and inflammation management. 1 In this technique, a temperature map of different body parts is produced with an infrared camera. Recently, IRT was used to evaluate the effect of vocal loading on throat temperature in young normal adults. Temperature of the larynx was measured in 20 healthy men and women after 40 minutes text reading with 70 dB loudness. Increased temperature in throat of participants was observed (1.94°C and 2.81°C in males and females). Authors concluded that thermal change could show the vulnerability of the vocal folds. 2 |
