| Core Tip |
Infrared thermography is a promising, non-invasive imaging tool for musculoskeletal injury assessment, detecting temperature variations linked to inflammation, vascular changes, and muscle fatigue. It enhances early diagnosis, injury prevention, and rehabilitation monitoring, particularly in sports medicine. However, challenges in sensitivity, specificity, and standardization limit its clinical adoption. Advances in artificial intelligence, improved imaging resolution, and integration with other modalities may enhance its reliability, expanding its role in orthopedic and rehabilitation care. |
