红外热成像（IRT）是最有价值的工具之一，用于非接触，非侵入性和快速监测体温;自2003年严重急性呼吸系统综合征（SARS）爆发以来，这已被用于机场检疫站等地的发热旅客的大规模筛查超过10年。在最近的许多研究中，已经评估了热成像技术在大规模筛查中的有用性;在各种情况下，其灵敏度从40%到89.4%不等。在本章中，我们进行IRT评价，以检测从名古屋机场进入日本的发热国际旅客，从2003年6月至2004年2月，从2005年4月至2009年3月在那霸国际机场SARS疫情后立即。体表温度与腋温有显著相关性。通过IRT，发热个体被检测出具有良好的准确性，通过自我报告问卷的确证监测，提高了检测准确性。然而，使用IRT进行发热筛查存在一些局限性。例如，服用退烧药会导致体温迅速改变，并直接影响IRT的效率。为了解决这种不可靠性并在大规模筛查中获得更高的准确性，我们开发了一种使用多传感器数据的新型感染筛查系统，即，心率和呼吸率由微波雷达以非接触方式测定，面部皮肤温度通过IRT监测。该系统的检测准确性得到了提高，与仅使用IRT的传统筛选方法相比，检测准确性明显更高。
Infrared thermography (IRT), one of the most valuable tools, is used for noncontact, noninvasive, and rapid monitoring of body temperature; this has been used for mass screening of febrile travelers at places such as airport quarantine stations for over 10 years after the 2003 severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) outbreak. The usefulness of thermography for mass screening has been evaluated in many recent studies; its sensitivity varies from 40 to 89.4% under various circumstances. In this chapter, we perform IRT evaluations for detecting febrile international travelers entering Japan at Nagoya Airport, immediately after the SARS epidemic, from June 2003 to February 2004, and at Naha International Airport from April 2005 to March 2009. The correlation of body surface temperature measured via thermography with the axillary temperature was significant. Through IRT, febrile individuals were detected with good accuracy and the detection accuracy was improved by corroborating surveillance with self-reporting questionnaires. However, there are several limitations associated with the use of IRT for fever screening. For instance, taking antifebrile medications results in rapid modification of the body temperature and directly affects the efficiency of IRT. To solve this unreliability and obtain higher accuracy in mass screening, we have developed a novel infection screening system using multisensor data, i.e., heart and respiration rates are determined by microwave radar in noncontact manner and facial skin temperature is monitored through IRT. The detection accuracy of the system improved, which is notably higher compared to the conventional screening method using only IRT.
