摘要
Objective: To evaluate the currently perceived status of thermography in the diagnosis of musculoskeletal disorders. Data sources: Medical and legal journals published from 1956 onwards; report of the United States Office of Health Technology Assessment and personal communication with the author of that report. Study selection: Confined to application of thermography to musculoskeletal and neurological medicine. Data extraction and synthesis: Weighted towards prospective and controlled studies. Conclusion: Little evidence exists of any application of thermography in which it is unequivocally superior to conventional diagnostic imaging methods.
