Quantitative thermal indices in infrared imaging as auxiliary tool in the diagnosis of peripheral artery disease and diabetic peripheral neuropathy among patients with type 2 diabetes.
Oxf. Med. Case Rep. 2026:omag029 (2026)
Biomedical thermography, when used to monitor changes in metabolic heat released from human legs, allows the disclosure of metabolic deficiencies associated with asymmetric alterations in the presence of long-term type 2 diabetes mellitus. In this case series a clinical evaluation was performed in 10 patients clinically diagnosed with a time evolution of type 2 diabetes mellitus for more than 5 years: 5 males (62 ± 10 years) and 5 females (56 ± 10 years). The clinical examination relied on infrared thermography as the only auxiliary imaging technique to diagnose diabetic peripheral neuropathy and peripheral arterial disease. The clinical evaluation indicates 100% agreement with the image analysis according to the quantitative thermal indices: asymmetry and thermal response index (ATR) and the thermal response index (TRI). These findings indicate that the proposed image analysis is a useful and adaptable tool for detecting subtle clinical signs and supporting timely diagnostic and therapeutic decisions.
