heal.abstract	Infrared thermography is a real-time method based on monitoring the temperature variation on the surface of materials and structures. This method identifies and interprets the surface temperature differences in the material, leading to the evaluation of damage distribution and accumulation. Infrared thermography is a non-destructive, full field and non-contact method allowing characterization of degradation in historic monuments without causing further damage to them. This work presents recent results of infrared thermographic inspection of murals at the ""Monastery of Molivdoskepastos"" in the Ioannina region (Greece). Three different thermographic methods have been used and compared for their efficiency in detecting hidden letters in sub-surface donor's inscriptions. © 2012 Taylor & Francis Group, London.	en
