thermography
Thermal pattern visualization
Thermography is imaging that captures heat rather than light, producing pictures showing temperature variations across a surface.
Medical thermography detects inflammation or circulation problems.
Building inspectors use thermography to find heat leaks and insulation failures.
The thermography scan revealed a hotspot in the electrical panel.
