Abstract:

Infrared thermal imaging technology is a kind of sensing technology without physical contact. Its basic principle is that infrared thermal radiation detection technology can be used to draw the thermal image distribution map of human surface, which can indirectly reveal the metabolic activity state of tissues and blood circulation. This paper summarizes the application progress of infrared thermal imaging technology in preoperative vascular location, intraoperative blood supply monitoring, postoperative blood supply assessment, complications and auxiliary examination of oral cancer skin flap transplantation, analyzes the combination progress of infrared thermal imaging technology with other technologies and the application effect of infrared imaging technology in different skin flaps, explores the limitations of infrared thermal imaging technology in oral cancer skin flap transplantation during perioperative period and puts forward the development prospect, aiming at providing reference for further improvement of infrared thermal imaging technology in oral cancer skin flap transplantation in the future.

Key words: infrared thermography, oral cancer, flap transplantation, perioperative period
