Résumé
The current practice of assessing wounds is highly dependent on visual examination and clinical judgment; these methods are highly subjective and leave great room for error. Objective measures of wound severity and healing are necessary tools that have been lacking in clinical practice. Long-wave infrared thermography (LWIT) has diverse applications that can be optimized to help detect and monitor wounds. This work is a retrospective case series of pertinent patients encountered by the authors in clinical practice. Nine cases were ultimately selected to best represent the multitude of benefits that can be seen with the utilization of LWIT devices. Through this case series, we show the many advantages of LWIT devices. This technology is safe, noninvasive, and user friendly and, most importantly, gives objective, instant, and repeatable measurements.
