    ObjectiveConduct basic research of the distribution pattern of skin temperature and estimate the wound depth in normal Chinese in the early stage of burn injury by using technical thermography.Methods(1) Two hundred twenty-three volunteers from the electrical power system were randomly chosen: 138 males and 85 females, mean age 42.5 +/- 8.8, and mean weight 65.37 +/- 9.7 kg. (2) Thermovision 470 Pro camera of AGEMA Corporation, Sweden, was used. (3) A total of 29,882 values of skin temperature from all over the body were classified, compared, and statistically analyzed.ResultsThe difference in temperature on the y-axis of the body is relatively significant, from 0 to 9 degrees C. The difference in temperature on the x-axis of the body is relatively invariable.ConclusionsThe depth of early burn wound can be detected by using infrared thermography, which is an objective, fast, non-touching, and noninvasive method.
