title: [Infrared telethermography in the diagnosis of testicular tumors].
abstract: Diagnostic potential of infrared extracorporeal thermography (IET) was studied in 334 males: 167 with testicular tumors, 42 with acute or chronic epididimitis, 33 with orchitis, 17 with hydrocele and 75 controls. To assess thermography more objectively in large-size testicular tumors and bilateral lesions, a new thermographic criterium T3 was used. IET sensitivity, specificity and efficacy in testicular cancer made up 92.9%, 89.8% and 91.4%, respectively. In view of its safety, high efficacy, noninvasiveness and simplicity this method has perspectives in diagnosis of testicular diseases.
