BACKGROUND: Medical infrared thermography (MIT) is a method of recording thermal radiation from the surface of the human body, which allows to identify pathological conditions of the body at the preclinical stage, as well as to monitor the treatment and rehabilitation process over time. The advantages of this method include non-contact examination, non-invasiveness, harmlessness, lack of need for highly specialized personnel and expensive consumables.

AIM: To assess the condition of the lower extremities using medical infrared thermography.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: The present study refers to experimental, blinded, single-stage, selective, uncontrolled, single-center. The study included respondents aged 18–21 years with no history of somatic diseases of the lower extremities. During the study, thermographic images of the anterior and posterior surfaces of both lower extremities were performed, after which points were placed on each of them indicating the temperature of the specified areas. These points were selected according to the anatomical location of the vessels of the lower extremities. The main outcome is the average values of the percentage change in temperature; an additional one is the identification of the relationship between the percentage change in temperature and the volume of subcutaneous fat. The study duration is 2,5 months. The chi-square criterion was used to calculate the statistical significance of the study.

RESULTS: During this study, it was revealed that the physiological phenomenon of a decrease in temperature in the lower extremities from the proximal to the distal sections can be applied in practice (p <0.001). The graphs constructed in the course of the work proved that the percentage change in temperature does not depend on the state of subcutaneous fat, which differs from the temperature of anatomical points, the values of which completely depend on the volume of the fat layer in humans.

CONCLUSIONS: this study is the first step towards using average statistical data on the percentage change in temperature between anatomical points on the lower extremities in practice. Due to measurements, calculations and plotting, it has been proven that this method of thermographic examination is universal for people with different complexions and body mass index, which greatly simplifies its use in diagnostics by doctors of different specialties.
