About the Authors

James Stewart Campbell, EE, MD. Interested in electronics from a young age, Dr. James Stewart Campbell received his bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering from Lehigh University in 1966 and then went on to study medicine at the Albany Medical College in Albany, NY, receiving his MD degree in 1970. After completing a straight-surgical internship at the University of Washington, he helped found The Country Doctor Clinic in Seattle and practiced general medicine there until 1975.

In 1976, Dr. Campbell settled in Hayesville, North Carolina, where he founded the non-profit Mountain Peoples' Clinic and had a successful practice of general medicine. He also taught electronics at Tri-County Community College in Murphy, NC.

Dr. Campbell took a leave from clinical medicine in 1986 to work in biomedical engineering, specializing in biological-to-electronic interfacing. His design projects have included air plethysmography, non-invasive blood pressure devices, ultrasound imaging and flowmeters, photo-plethysmography, fluorescence microscopy, bio-impedance, bio-acoustics, intra-cardiac sensor-stimulators, and implantable neural probe systems.

In 2010, realizing that thermal signatures were clinically important to detect certain diseases, Dr. Campbell started a thermography service for Integrative Life Solutions, Inc., in Clemmons, NC. Over the next 7 years, the practice became a successful provider of general and breast thermography. After retiring from medical practice in 2017, he assembled the wealth of objective thermal data from the service into a large spreadsheet derived from over 1000 imaging sessions. These thermal images and numerical data, along with much additional research and writing by his co-author, form the foundation of this book.

Dr. Campbell lives in Pfafftown, North Carolina. He is a Life Senior Member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and a Senior Member of the American Academy of Thermology (AAT).

Mark Nathaniel Mead, MSc, earned his master's degree in Nutritional Epidemiology from the UNC Gillings School of Global Public Health. Through his work as a medical-scientific writer, he has over 40 scientific articles listed on PubMed, including papers published in the International Journal of Cancer, Journal of the National Cancer Institute, Integrative Cancer Therapies, Environmental Health Perspectives, and Cancer Treatment Reviews. In addition to 9 years as a contributing editor to Natural Health magazine, Mead served for 20 years as an editorial board member for Integrative Cancer Therapies (Sage Publications) and as a research associate for the Block Center for Integrative Cancer Treatment in Skokie, IL. He underwent clinical training in thermography under his co-author and has lectured at the annual scientific session of the American Academy of Thermology.

Introduction to Human Medical Thermography

DOI: 10.1201/9781003281764-1

The human body generates heat a byproduct of metabolism and must dissipate it to regulate internal body temperature. The majority of metabolic heat is dispersed into the environment by the skin surface. When viewed through a thermal imager, the human body stands out strongly against cooler backgrounds. Variations, patterns, and differences in skin temperature can be readily visualized. The result is a thermogram, a graphic rendering of the pattern of infrared emissions either in color or shades of gray showing the temperature distribution over the body's surface. Actual surface temperatures may be measured on the image, providing a view of the body's thermal pattern that is both quantitative (numerical) and qualitative (visual).
