Abstract (EN):
Infrared thermal imaging has in recent years become more accessible and affordable as a means of remote sensing for human body temperature such as in identifying a person with fever. The implementation and operational guidelines for identifying a febrile human using a screening thermograph as documented in the ISO/TR 13154:2009 ISO/TR 80600 has been deployed for the screening of a total of 402 children. It was found that there was a significant difference between the temperatures measured in non-fevered patients and those with known fever, with the thermal imaging of the eye region being the most rapid non-contact site for measurement.
