Descriptor termografía
Scope note: Obtención de imágenes de las temperaturas en un material, en el cuerpo o en un órgano. La obtención de imágenes se basa en una radiación infrarroja que emana (ONDAS CALORÍFICAS), o en cambios en las propiedades del material o tejido que varían con la temperatura, como ELASTICIDAD, CAMPO MAGNÉTICO o LUMINISCENCIA.
