5 Thermal Imaging for Inflammatory Arthritis Evaluation
Thermal imaging is a non-contact, non-invasive, diagnostic imaging procedure based on skin temperature measurement. It is a functional imaging method for analyzing physiological functions related to body temperature. It has been used as a pre-screening tool in various clinical applications of rheumatology, such as diagnosis of patellofemoral arthralgia in knee joint (Devereaux et al., 1986), monitoring of skin temperature elevations in scleroderma (Maeda et al., 1998), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), (Devereaux et al., 1985), knee osteoarthritis (Warashina et al., 2002), and juvenile idiopathic arthritis (Spalding et al., 2008).
