Summary

The purpose of this study is to test the feasibility of using thermal images to diagnose bacterial pneumonia instead of a chest x-ray in the future. More specifically, the objectives of this study are: 1) to determine if thermal imaging, using a commercial thermal camera can detect areas of heat emitted from the chest in similar locations to where a chest X-ray shows focal consolidation consistent with bacterial pneumonia; 2) to evaluate whether changes in heat emitted from the chest changes over time if it is possible to obtain serial images of the chest.
