Abstract

A radiation clinical thermometer has a probe with an optical guide and an infrared sensor, a detection signal processing section, a body temperature operating section, and a display unit. A filter correction system for setting a correction value based on the transmission wavelength characteristics of a filter is also provided. The body temperature operating section receives infrared data, temperature-sensitive data, which takes into account the temperature equilibrium between the optical guide and the infrared sensor, and a correction value from the filter correction section so as to calculate body temperature data.
