The Application of Medical Infrared Thermography in Sports Medicine

Carolin Hildebrandt, Karlheinz Zeilberger, E.F.J. Ring, C. Raschner

This study from Innsbruck and Munich highlights MIT as a contact-free, non-radiating tool for detecting musculoskeletal issues in athletes. Case studies show its value in overuse injury screening and recovery tracking.

An Overview of Recent Application of Medical Infrared Thermography in Sports Medicine in Austria

Carolin Hildebrandt

This overview discusses how Austria has adopted MIT for performance analysis and injury prevention in athletes, with emphasis on its integration into sports diagnostics and research institutions.

Assessment of Hand Osteoarthritis: Correlation Between Thermographic and Radiographic Methods

Hildebrandt C, Raschner C, Ammer K

This study demonstrates a correlation between thermal abnormalities in the hands and radiographic signs of osteoarthritis, supporting thermography as a useful adjunctive assessment tool in hand OA.

Thermal Imaging – A Hotspot for the Future? A Case Report

Ammer K

This case report illustrates how thermography detected early signs of overuse and inflammation in a patient before clinical symptoms developed, emphasizing the tool’s potential in preventative care.

Thermal Signature Analysis in Inflammatory Arthritis Activity

Spalding SJ et al.

Thermographic analysis was used to track inflammation patterns in arthritis patients, providing a non-invasive metric that correlated with disease activity and therapy response.

Thermatomal Changes in Cervical Disc Herniations

Lee JH et al.

This study identified thermal pattern changes along dermatomes in cervical disc herniation patients, validating thermography as a complementary diagnostic tool in spinal disorders.

Foot Evaluation by Infrared Imaging

Kelechi TJ et al.

Thermal imaging was used to evaluate foot perfusion and inflammation, with applications in diabetic foot risk assessment and post-surgical monitoring.

Thermal Imaging to Assess Therapeutic Exercise in Diabetes

de Andrade RM et al.

This study evaluated foot thermal responses before and after exercise therapy in diabetic patients. Infrared data helped assess circulation and treatment effectiveness.

Overview of Temperature Monitoring for Diabetic Foot Disorders

Armstrong DG et al.

A review of temperature-based technologies for early detection of diabetic foot ulcers, including infrared thermography. Supports proactive use for prevention and monitoring.

Thermography in Coccygodynia Before and After Manual Therapy

Gulick DT, Yoder H

Thermal imaging assessed temperature asymmetry in coccyx region pre- and post-treatment. MIT effectively visualized improvements after combined manual and diathermy therapy.
