โฆ Synopsis
Abstract
An assessment of the diagnostic accuracy of thermography in arterial disease of the lower limb is reported. By comparing the arteriographic and thermographic appearances of 52 patients, three independent observers had overall agreement of interpretation in approximately 50 per cent of cases. Factors found to limit accuracy were increasing subcutaneous fat thickness and localized disease with good collateral circulation.
