Diagnostic value of foil thermography in urological diseases.
Authors summarize their experience of 8 years with foil thermography. Based on a total of 1113 examinations, they assess the diagnostic value of this method in some andrological and urological diseases. They found foil thermography to be an independent, but not the exclusive procedure in diagnosing varicocele. In addition, this method has proved to be highly valuable also in differentiating the inflammatory and tumorous processes of the testicles. They point out that thermography is very useful for outpatient practice, due to its inexpensiveness, simplicity and rapid applicability.
