Device typeLiquid-crystal thermography system: A system intended to be used to produce, display, and analyse images or graphical representations of the distribution of surface body temperature for the purpose of diagnosing and assessing various conditions and disease states. Sheets of cholesteric liquid crystal based materials are embedded in the outer layer of objects, e.g. blankets, pillows or mattresses that can be moulded around the body. The object changes colour based on surface temperature variations of the body parts that come in contact with the material and the colour variations are analysed using either visual assessment or software based quantitative methods.
