title: Preliminary report on the use of liquid crystal thermography in podiatry.
abstract: The use of liquid crystal thermography as an adjuvant in the diagnosis and evaluation of podiatric problems is discussed. Liquid crystal thermography is a useful tool. However, similar to other methods of evaluation that are not diagnostic, specific needs must be weighed with the patient's other clinical and laboratory findings.
