MSH: Imaging the temperatures in a material, or in the body or an organ. Imaging is based on self-emanating infrared radiation (HEAT WAVES), or on changes in properties of the material or tissue that vary with temperature, such as ELASTICITY; MAGNETIC FIELD; or LUMINESCENCE.,CSP: measurement of the regional temperature of the body or an organ by infrared sensing devices.,NCI: In medicine, a procedure in which a heat-sensing infrared camera is used to record the surface heat produced by different parts of the body. Abnormal tissue growth can cause temperature changes, which may show up on the thermogram. Thermography may be used to diagnose breast cancer and other tumors.,NCI: A diagnostic technique using a thermograph to record the heat produced by different parts of the bod. It can be used to study blood flow and to detect tumors.
