Abstract
Thermal imaging measurements are increasingly being used in various medical fields. A critical parameter influencing the accuracy and reliability of thermographic assessments is the selection of an appropriate stabilization (acclimatization) time prior to infrared thermal imaging. Although existing literature provides some guidelines for determining this time, these recommendations are typically based on the body region being examined and usually range from 10 to 20 min. In this study, the authors conducted thermal imaging on 79 patients with varying body mass index (BMI) values to evaluate the influence of BMI on the stabilization time. The region of interest was the abdominal cavity, which contains the highest concentration of adipose tissue distributed unevenly. There are existing studies on the influence of BMI on body temperature, but there is no guidance on how to select an appropriate stabilization time for patients with different BMI classifications. This article aims to fill that lack. The results revealed a clear relationship between BMI and the required stabilization time. Participants classified as underweight or with normal weight required approximately 10 min of acclimatization. Those classified as overweight (pre-obesity) and with class I obesity required minimum 15 min, while patients with class II and III obesity needed a minimum of 20 min to reach thermal equilibrium. Proper selection of stabilization time in abdominal thermographic assessments may significantly improve the precision and reliability of diagnostic applications.
