Using a high-resolution infrared camera, sports scientists at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz have discovered how blood flow in human skin changes during activity.

The increase in blood flow leads to a temperature increase in the inflamed tissue, which can be detected with thermography if the temperature increase on the skin surface exceeds a difference of 0.3 degrees compared to the unaffected opposite side.

Innovative diagnostic investigations and treatment of trigger points in the shoulder girdle with thermography.

Infrared thermography provides us in our orthopaedic and sports medicine practice with a complementary imaging procedure that is fast, non-invasive, painless, objective and above all radiation-free.

There is limited, moderate-to-good quality evidence that thermography is not an effective screening method for breast cancer.

Infrared thermography can be useful in rheumatology and peripheral nervous system disorders as a noninvasive imaging modality.
