Infrared thermography is unique objective imaging procedure for the quantitative assessment of local inflammatory reactions in parts of the locomotor system. For differential diagnosis the thermographic results should be evaluated in conjuction with clinical examination and other technical procedures. As a means of monitoring the course of the local inflammatory activity, however, quantitative infrared thermography is a useful tool in itself, particularly during the application of local and systemic anti-inflammatory therapy.
