Use of Thermal Imaging Camera to Assess Perfusion Before and After Vascular Intervention
University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center
Summary
This is a preliminary prospective observational study measuring change in lower extremity temperature in response to revascularization procedure. The main question this study aims to answer is: \- Are temperature measurements from a forward looking infrared (FLIR) camera of the lower extremity useful in predicting outcome of revascularization procedures?
Description
This is a preliminary prospective observational study measuring change in lower extremity temperature in response to revascularization procedure. Patients with lower extremity PAD will be seen in office pre-intervention. Consent to participate in the TIC study will be acquired at this point. Patients will be given a physical copy of their consent form at the time consent is obtained. During this initial visit or subsequent pre-procedural office visit, the smartphone-based thermal camera will be utilized to measure the temperature of the lower extremity foot, ankle, and leg at the plantar, dor…
