1. Thermometric apparatus, comprising:
- a sensing unit, comprising one or more infrared sensors, which are configured to provide respective temperature-dependent readings of radiation from two or more locations on a surface of a living body in a vicinity of a sub-surface heat source within the body; and
a processing unit configured to process the readings from the two or more locations so as to determine a temperature of the sub-surface heat source.
