Thermal Imaging of Superficial Leg Circulation Improves Venous Diagnostic Efficiency and Completeness

VASCULAR DISEASE MANAGEMENT 2020;17(11):E208-E211.

Thermal imaging (TI) has been used in the medical field for over 50 years; however, it has shown limited clinical utility partly due to prohibitive costs, size, and often its use in inappropriate disease states. In this single center retrospective analysis, the impact of thermal imaging of legs was assessed by comparing complete duplex ultrasound (DUS) diagnostic results before and after the addition of TI to the routine clinical evaluation.
