Infrared Thermography in Medicine

With the increasing availability of thermographic equipment the definition of "thermography" and "thermologic methods" is important, since differing techniques and standards may be applied. Recommendations are given for optimum use of skin-surface temperature measurements in the assessment of clinical drug trials. Sites for thermographic measurement, different methods for quantitation, and sources of further information are included. A brief checklist of minimal technical requirements and an example of information for patients are also included.
