Computerized Infrared Telethermography

Computerized Infrared Telethermography is a non-invasive functional diagnostic technique that allows the analysis, quantification and representation of skin temperature variations of the human body using highly sensitive medical thermal cameras and advanced digital processing systems.

This is an exploration:

• Non-invasive
• Painless
• Radiation-free
• Without intravenous contrast
• Suitable for all ages

At VERTEBRA SpinePain & Regenerative SURGERY CENTERS we have been using this technology for four decades as a specialized complement in the evaluation of painful, neuropathic, musculoskeletal and vasomotor pathologies, especially in patients with complex pain or pain that is difficult to objectify using conventional tests.

Skin temperature is directly influenced by the autonomic nervous system, microcirculation, and inflammatory tissue activity. Nervous, inflammatory, or vascular alterations can produce detectable thermal changes even before any visible structural changes appear in other imaging tests.

Infrared Telethermography records these thermal patterns using high-precision infrared sensors, generating computerized thermal maps that allow the identification of asymmetries, pathological hyperthermia or hypothermia, and alterations in vascular or neurological distribution.

Computerized Infrared Telethermography can provide very valuable functional information in multiple pathologies, especially when pain has a neuropathic, inflammatory or autonomic component.
