Scanning body temperature accurately and quickly is highly important for public health and safety, especially during times of crisis or pandemic like COVID-19. Infrared technology is critical here, as it allows non-contact, quick, and efficient temperature scans. Infrared temperature scanners and other thermal imaging systems are critical to maintain safe work environments and public spaces by identifying individuals with elevated skin temperatures.

Infrared cameras and thermal imaging systems don’t actually measure temperature — they measure the radiated energy from the first 1/1000 of an inch of a surface. The radiant energy is then converted into an electronic signal that produces a thermal image with temperature calculations.

However, it’s important to remember that this energy may or may not be a function of the subject’s temperature. In many cases though, a trained thermographer armed with the necessary knowledge is capable of calculating a very precise temperature. To do so, the thermographer must measure the temperature of the target and input that data into the camera for accurate temperature measurements. Remember that temperature measurements can be relative to the overall environment, so when we measure anything, we compare it to a standard.

This is a complex process, so proper training is absolutely critical when using an infrared temperature scanner. Visit the Infrared Training Institute for information on how infrared technology works and upcoming training sessions.
