The results of thermography were compared with those of phlebography in 235 patients with suspected deep venous thrombosis in the legs. Any thermal difference between the two sides was regarded as abnormal. On this basis, thermography had a sensitivity of 97%. Thermography is therefore a reliable, simple, non-invasive and repeatable examination for the exclusion of leg vein thrombosis.
