Technology
The Hot Disk Medical instrument builds on the internationally recognized and unique strengths of the Transient Plane Source (TPS) technology, as developed and marketed by Hot Disk AB in Sweden.
With a new and innovative probe the TPS technology now works as a structural stethoscope. Depth-dependent variations of thermal conductivity and correlated structural variations are easily measured.
Applications can be found in a wide range of technological and medical areas.
