Radiant Energy All objects solid liquid or gas emit energy by radiation The intensity of this energy depends on the temperature of the object The IR thermometer Smart ThermoGraph measures human body temperature by the energy the person emits When you hold the device near the body the radiation sensor is activated and a measurement is taken instantly by detecting the infrared heat generated by the arterial blood flow As a result you can measure body heat without any interference from the heat of the surrounding environment Body Temperature Measurement Methods Core temperature Core temperature is the temperature of brain and internal organs This method is the most precise measurement because it measures the temperature in the pulmonary artery by using a catheter with a thermal probe The same method is used for probes measuring the esophageal temperature However such invasive temperature measurement methods require specific equipment and expertise Rectal temperature Rectal temperature adjusts slowly in comparison to the changes of the body s internal temperature It has been demonstrated that rectal temperature remains raised long after the internal temperature of the patient has started to drop and vice versa Oral temperature Oral temperature is easily influenced by recent ingestion of food or drinks and by breathing through the mouth To measure oral temperature the mouth must remain closed and the tongue lowered for thre
