Thermal imaging to assess changes of foot skin temperature in patients treated with percutaneous transluminal angioplasty

Original language description

Lower extremity peripheral arterial disease (PAD) most frequently presents with pain during ambulation, which is known as claudication. Treatment for claudication that is due to PAD often relies on revascularization with percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA). Aim of our study was to evaluate the correlation between PTA and thermal changes in the skin of patients measured using an infrared camera. We compared thermal changes in the skin of patients before and after revascularization by PTA and we tried to find a correlation between ankle brachial index (ABI) value and foot skin temperature. We present benefits of infrared thermographic systems for the monitoring of foot temperature as a means of early detection of foot ischemic disorders.
