[Telethermography in the selection for x-ray computed tomographic study of herniated lumbar disks]. 1984

C Delcour, and J Sztencel, and A Vander Elst, and M Pieterbourg, and D Baleriaux, and J Struyven

Results of computed tomography and thermography examinations were compared in 80 patients with herniated disk lesions investigated by non-invasive radiological procedures. Thermography proved to be a very sensitive method but one of only relative specificity. The examination failed to contribute data in 10% of cases, and only one false-negative result was noted. Telethermography appears to be a reliable screening method enabling optimal selection of patients for scanning.
