[Possibilities of liquid crystal thermography in the diagnosis of acute paraproctitis].

Results of using coloured thermography with cholesterol liquid crystals in complex diagnostics in 123 patients with different forms of acute paraproctitis are presented. The diagnostic value of the method was established to increase along with deepening and spreading the inflammation focus and development of the scar process in the pararectal fat. In 46 patients (37.4%) with deep forms of the disease the liquid crystal thermography has acquired the leading diagnostic value.
