thermal scan
Infrared temperature reading
A thermal scan is an imaging process that detects heat signatures, converting infrared radiation into a visible picture showing temperature variations.
Used in building inspections to find heat leaks, medical diagnostics to identify inflammation, and security systems to detect intruders in darkness.
The thermal scan revealed a hot spot behind the wall where wiring had overheated.
