We measured the Non-contact infrared temperature (NCIT) fromthe forehead, chest and abdomen, and compared it with Digitalaxillary temperature (DAT) by Bland Altman Plot. The DAT agreedbetter with NCIT chest (mean difference 0.13, 95% limit ofagreement 0.08, 0.18) as compared to NCIT forehead andabdomen.
