A non-invasive and functional imaging method, especiallyattractive in cancer research due to the hypervascular andhypermetabolic activity of solid tumors.Based on the derivation of the spatial and temporal pattern oftemperature associated to the IR radiance emitted by the tissueunder study.Healthy tissues like skin or mucosa exposed to radiation can bestudied since inflammation, changes in water content, exudation,desquamation, erosion and necrosis, between others, are factorsdetectable with DIRI.
