Abstract
Thermography is a method of graphically demonstrating the pattern of local heat emission of a body. The variations of skin temperature are shown as gradations of blackness or whiteness of a film or variations in color. The main advantage of thermography is that it does not require any injection material or irradiation of the patient, but actually measures the heat radiaeion emitted by the patient.
