Thermography in Dermatology

Thermography offers several advantages to the dermatologist:

Early detection of skin cancer

Thermography can help detect abnormalities in skin temperature that may indicate the presence of skin cancer. By identifying suspicious areas early, the dermatologist can take steps for a early determination and treatment.

Non-invasive procedure

Thermography is a non-invasive method that does not require needles, biopsies or incisions. This makes it more comfortable for patients and minimizes the risk of infection or other complications.

Monitoring of treatment/therapy progress

For patients who are already receiving treatment for skin cancer or other skin conditions, thermography can help monitor the progress of treatment. Changes in skin temperature can indicate positive or negative reactions to the therapy and provide the dermatologist with important information to make adjustments if necessary.

Complements the isual examination

Thermography can be used as an additional assessment tool to support the dermatologist’s visual examination of the skin. By combining visual inspection and thermographic analysis, a more comprehensive assessment of skin health can be made.

Low cost and fast results

Compared with some other diagnostic procedures, thermography is relatively inexpensive and can be performed in a short time. This allows a wider application and facilitates access to this technology for dermatologists and their patients.

However, it is important to note that thermography alone is not enough to arrive at a definitive result. It should always be used in combination with other diagnostic procedures and the clinical assessment of the dermatologist.
