Abstract
Infrared thermal imaging has the advantages of being noninvasive, contact-free, continuous, and able to detect the whole flap surface area. Two indicators, ÎT and SDT, can be used with high sensitivity and specificity for early prediction of flap pedicle thrombosis. Further human studies are necessary to validate clinical application of infrared thermal imaging.
