Case examples of thermographic use​

Thermidas provides revolutionary, non-contact, non-invasive, physiological diagnostic tools utilizing thermography to identify and diagnose underlying pathology quickly and reliably at earlier stages than currently adopted methods.

Case example

Broken / operated Achilles tendon

  • First thermal image taken eight hours after Orthosis was removed
  • Second image taken six weeks later

Case example

Stress fracture

  • The patient felt pain on the left foot
  • Thermal imaging revealed a substantial asymmerty in the temperature
  • Later a stress fracture was diagnosed

Case example

Insoles' effectiveness

  • First meeting with the patient due to pain in the knee area
  • Thermal imaging revealed abnormal temperatures and helped locate the problem areas
  • Custom-made insoles were made
  • Follow-up thermal images taken to evaluate the effectiveness of the insoles
  • The situation had calmed down and the patient was able to perform normal daily activities

Case example

CRPS

  • First meeting with the patient due to pain in the knee area
  • Thermal imaging revealed abnormal temperatures and helped locate the problem areas
  • Tailor-made insoles were made
  • Follow-up thermal images taken to evaluate the effectiveness of the insoles
  • The situation had calmed down and the patient was able to perform normal daily activities
