Non-invasive precise thermometers working at the nanoscale with high spatial resolution, where the conventional methods are ineffective, have emerged over the last couple of years as a very active field of research. This has been strongly stimulated by the numerous challenging requests arising from nanotechnology and biomedicine. This critical review offers a general overview of recent examples...

A 2-channel embedded infrared fiber-optic temperature sensor was fabricated using two identical silver halide optical fibers for accurate thermometry without complicated calibration processes. In this study, we measured the output voltages of signal and reference probes according to temperature variation over a temperature range from 25 to 225 °C. To decide the temperature of the water, the dif...

Temperature is a key parameter for reaction progress during combustion, and as such its experimental determination has been a subject of considerable interest for many years. The aim of our present project is to study the 2-D temperature field in a realistic heavy-duty Diesel engine under the conditions of premixed charge compression ignition (PCCI) combustion. Two-line OH Laser Induced Fluores...

Cellular functions are fundamentally regulated by intracellular temperature, which influences biochemical reactions inside a cell. Despite the important contributions to biological and medical applications that it would offer, intracellular temperature mapping has not been achieved. Here we demonstrate the first intracellular temperature mapping based on a fluorescent polymeric thermometer and ...

Methods and Materials: 278 consecutive patients 28 to 84 years of age (mean 59 y) with a total of 822 liver metastases were treated with MR-guided LITT under local anesthesia. 533 liver metastases of colorectal cancer (175 patients), 126 liver metastases of breast cancer (48 patients) and 163 metastases of a variety of other primary tumors (55 patients) were treated with a total of 2138 laser a...

PURPOSE To provide information about the use of infrared skin thermometry for routine wound care practice and patient high-risk diabetic foot self-monitoring. TARGET AUDIENCE This continuing education activity is intended for physicians and nurses with an interest in skin and wound care. OBJECTIVES After participating in this educational activity, the participant will be able to:1. Describe...

Background/introduction Real time MR thermometry, usually based on the protonresonance frequency shift, is a key aspect of MR-guided focused ultrasound procedures. The desire to monitor the entire sonicated volume has led the field towards the development of rapid, 3D methods; however, acquiring fully sampled 3D volumetric data to monitor heating is time consuming, and so fast methods must be d...
