[Possibilities of infrared thermography in the differential diagnosis of functional and organic stages of microangiopathy in diabetes mellitus].
The results of thermographic studies of the limbs of patients suffering from diabetes mellitus of different severity and duration are presented. Thermogram changes expressed by IR-radiation decrease in the foot and hand distal regions or "amputation" thermograms of feet and hands are characteristic of peripheral microangiopathy. Thermoasymmetry is more typical of the arterial atherosclerotic affection. The use of nitroglycerin test allows one of differentiate functional and organic vascular injuries and to judge the compensation of peripheral circulation.
