Disruptive Tech in the Clinic: AI-Powered Thermography for Early DFU Detection #ActAgainstAmputation

A new diagnostic accuracy study demonstrates how the combination of smartphone-based thermography and artificial intelligence (AI) could revolutionize routine screening for diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs). This technology offers a scalable, objective alternative to traditional manual exams, which are often episodic and highly dependent on examiner expertise. The Tech: TFScan The study evaluated TFScan, a system... Continue Reading →

Predicting Success in Spinal Cord Stimulation for the Diabetic Foot: The Role of Infrared Thermography

Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) has been an emerging therapy for patients with intractable ischemic pain and non-healing diabetic foot complications. While traditionally used for pain relief, evidence is building that SCS may also enhance blood flow, support ulcer healing, and even prolong limb salvage. But the critical question remains: who benefits most from this expensive... Continue Reading →

Peering Beneath the Surface: How Reliable is Microwave Radiometry for Charcot Foot? #Charcot #Thermography #Thermometry

Thermometry remains a cornerstone in the detection and monitoring of Charcot neuro-osteoarthropathy (CNO)—a frequently silent, yet limb-threatening complication of diabetes. But what if we could go deeper than skin-level heat? A new study by Eleftheriadou et al., published online in Technology in Wound Care, explores the reliability of microwave radiometry (MWR) as a tool for internal tissue temperature measurement in...
