THE USE OF INFRA-RED THERMOGRAPHY IN A RHEUMATOLOGY UNIT

K. DARTON1 and C. M. BLACK

Department of Rheumatology, Royal Free Hospital Pond Street, Hampstead, London NW3 2QG

Correspondence to: 1Correspondence to Dr K. Darton.

Infra-red thermography is a technique that is under-used in rheumatology; one reason is the supposed necessity for a temperature-controlled room in which to conduct tests. The results of a series of cold challenges to the hand, repeated on a normal subject in a temperature-controlled room and in other parts of a rheumatology ward, show very good reproducibility outside the temperature-controlled room, provided that the immediate environment is draught-free.

KEY WORDS: Temperature-controlled room, Cold challenge
