Use of Thermography for the Prevention and Diagnosis of Diabetic Foot

Diabetic foot is a serious complication of diabetes mellitus that can lead to ulcerations, infections and, in extreme cases, amputations. Early detection of changes in skin temperature can help prevent these complications. Infrared thermography is a noninvasive technique that allows the visualization and quantification of skin temperature and could be an effective tool for the early detection of alterations in diabetic foot. Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of infrared thermography in the early detection and diagnosis of diabetic foot, comparing the temperatures of the feet of healthy subjects and subjects with diabetic foot.
