Preliminary report on the use of liquid crystal thermography in podiatry.
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.
