Thermography

Abstract

Thermography is a radiographic method of portraying body-surface temperatures. Thermograms resemble roentgenograms, and the 2 types of film supplement each other interpretatively. The description of the apparatus and a series of case reports are given in detail to indicate some of the potentialities of this new discipline. The present shortcomings are explained in the hope that a better perspective can be gained of this new dimension in the diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of disease.
