Thermography of healthy faces

The thermal imaging picture of the maxillofacial region was studied in 70 practically healthy children aged 3 to 14 years and 45 adults. Remote thermographic studies were carried out on an M-1 thermograph from Barnes (USA). It has been established that the mosaic-cold and mosaic-hot types of thermographic imaging are characteristic of the children's organism; the mosaic-cold and cold types are typical for adults. It is noted that the skin temperature in young children is very labile, subject to fluctuations depending on the temperature of the environment, the behavior of the child. With age, temperature fluctuations in the skin become more stable.
