The role of thermography in the diagnosis of soft tissue lesions of the shoulder was evaluated by screening 28 patients with unilateral frozen shoulder and 86 patients with unilateral rotator cuff lesions. Index shoulders were then compared with the normal side. Differences in skin temperature distribution were found in 82% of subjects with frozen shoulder, nearly three-quarters of whom had reduced skin temperature. There was no consistent pattern of shoulder skin temperature found in rotator cuff tendinitis patients (49% normal, 28% reduced, 23% increased). Thermography can be helpful in the diagnosis of frozen shoulder but further studies are required to determine whether it is useful in other soft tissue shoulder lesions.
通过对28例单侧肩周炎患者和86例单侧肩袖损伤患者进行筛查，评估了热成像在肩部软组织病变诊断中的作用。然后将患侧肩部与正常侧进行比较。在82%的肩周炎患者中发现了皮肤温度分布差异，其中近四分之三的患者皮肤温度降低。在肩袖肌腱炎患者中未发现一致的肩部皮肤温度模式（49%正常，28%降低，23%升高）。热成像有助于肩周炎的诊断，但需要进一步研究以确定其在其他肩部软组织病变中是否有用。
