Multi-slice computed tomography: A tool for non-invasive temperature measurement?
Multi-slice computed tomography can depict thermal density expansion of different fluids. Based on these results the implementation of a temperature discrimination of several degrees C at a high spatial resolution is achievable.
These data do not support the hypothesis that poorer social groups are more stoical and more likely to need detailed prompting in order to elicit morbidity. Nor do they support the hypothesis that SES gradients in morbidity are underestimated by using the GHS question rather than more detailed questioning. This suggests that responses to this type of question can be used in epidemiology and health needs assessment without major socioeconomic bias.
