Diagnosis and Monitoring of Revascularization of Traumatic Circulation Defect in Patient with Multiple Lacerations Using Digital Infrared Thermal Imaging

Abstract

We report the case of a 53-year-old woman with peripheral blood circulation and skin defect who experienced multiple lacerations on the right hand. A series of digital infrared thermal imaging(DITI) studies may be useful to make proper treatment plan and prevent unnecessary amputation. We also present a review of other studies on DITI as practical diagnostic tool.
