[...] c'est surtout dans l'oreille que l'on recherchera une éventuelle fièvre, grâce à un thermomètre à infrarouges. En pratique, tous les tissus du corps émettent des infrarouges et la quantité de rayonnement est directement liée à la température. Le ThermoScan mesure ces infrarouges au niveau du tympan [...] et affiche le résultat en une seconde.
