Resumo(s)

Biomedical techniques and applications are being developed and placed at the service of clinicians. An example is medical thermography which is being used more often in the detection of certain diseases and also in pain distribution. Current thermography processing software has some limitations mainly because it is developed for general applications and doesn't allow the identification of a Region Of Interest (ROI) with a specific anatomic shape. In this research, a computational application was developed in order to aid in the characterization of thermal images. The limitations of existing software applications was overcome by designing an application that allows choosing any ROI, independently of its geometric shape, making the analysis, processing and comparison of different thermal images, easier to be used by the medical community.
