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 wave length 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.
