[Role of thermography in the evaluation of the results of the surgical treatment of patients with arteriosclerosis obliterans].
The Soviet thermovision device "Rubin-2" supplied with a special set for quantum processing of the thermovision picture was used for examination of 60 patients with obliterating atherosclerosis, 30 of them were subjected to restorative operations on the lower extremity vessels, 30--to uni- or bilateral lumbar sympathectomy. Results of thermovision examinations were compared with findings of the clinical examination, angiography, length-wise rheography. High degree correlation between normalized peripheral blood circulation and data of thermography is noted. The method of thermovision allows to objectively estimate results of the surgical treatment of obliterating atherosclerosis of the lower extremity vessels and may be successfully used in practical medico-occupational examinations.
