1. A method of manufacturing a temperaturemeasurement device, comprising:

  • providing a first sensing element configured to determine a temperature of a first anatomical structure of a patient without contacting the first anatomical structure;

    providing a second sensing element configured to determine a temperature of a second anatomical structure of the patient without contacting the second anatomical structure, wherein the second anatomical structure is different from the first anatomical structure;

    associating a controller with at least one of;

    the first sensing element and the second sensing element;

    connecting an imaging device to the controller; and

    programming the controller to;

    capture, using the imaging device, a non-thermal image of the patient including the first and second anatomical structures,identify, using the non-thermal image, a location of the first anatomical structure and a location of the second anatomical structure;

    measure a temperature of the first anatomical structure by focusing a field of view of the first sensing element on the location of the first anatomical structure;

    measure a temperature of the second anatomical structure by focusing a field of view of the second sensing element on the location of the second anatomical structure, anddetermine a temperature of the patient based on the temperatures of at least one of the first and second anatomical structures.
