  Predicting thermal response in orthopaedic surgery or dental implantation
remains a significant challenge. This study aims to find a practical approach
for measuring temperature elevation during a bone drilling experiment by
analyzing the existing methods. Traditionally thermocouple has frequently been
used to predict the bone temperature in the drilling process. However, several
experimental studies demonstrate that the invasive method using thermocouple is
impractical in medical conditions and prefers the thermal infrared (IR) camera
as a non-invasive method. This work proposes a simplified experimental model
that uses the thermocouple to determine temperature rise coupled with the
thermal image source approach. Furthermore, our new method provides a
significant opportunity to calibrate the thermal IR camera by discovering the
undetected heat elevation in a workpiece depth.
