NEC Thermography Infrared Imaging Study

"1. Clothing removed if necessary~2. ECG leads, temperature probes, or transcutaneous monitors will be relocated for abdominal imaging.~3. Axillary temperature prior to starting the thermographic imaging.~4. Baby's mattress slid out of the isolette and warming bed will be turned off for no more than 60 seconds. This step is necessary since infrared radiation does not pass through the Plexiglas walls of an isolette and the infant's skin surface needs to cool off slightly.~5. After surface cooling, thermal imaging will be recorded for \~60 sec to allow for the infrared radiation naturally emitted by the subject's body to be recorded by the infrared camera. The timestamp corresponding to the removal of the heat source will be noted, to indicate the start of the cooling of the abdomen.~6. After \~60 seconds of image recording, the recording will stop, the mattress pushed back into isolette.~7. Axillary temperature to ensure temperature stability, any clothes will be put back on."
