This publication reviews clinical thermal measurement technologies across two dimensions: (a) direct vs. indirect and (b) single-point vs. multiple-point temperature measurements and their clinical application to wound care, surgery and sports medicine. The primary focus is the thermographic imaging modality. However, other thermal modalities are included where relevant for these clinical applications.
Clinical thermography provides significant diagnostic value and prognostic insight to a wide range of clinical problems. Clinical thermography is no longer an experimental modality. There is growing confidence in the technology because there are enough cross-validating studies with similar conclusions.
