Implication

Experimental study evaluates infrared thermography's effectiveness in detecting vascular lesions in a porcine model, suggesting promising non-invasive applications.

Key Points

This study aims to evaluate infrared thermography's feasibility in detecting vascular lesions in a large animal model.
Experimental study using a porcine polytrauma model (n=28)
Measured temperature differences between extremities with infrared thermography
Used spectral CT to assess iodine concentrations and perform correlation analyses
Six animals had significant vascular compromise with a mean diameter reduction of 68% ± 18%
Mean inter-limb temperature difference in the vascular lesion group was 6.93 °C ± 1.78 °C (p < 0.001)
Temperature difference showed a strong correlation with stenosis (r = 0.785, p < 0.001) and iodine uptake (r = 0.801, p < 0.001)
