A new method for diagnosing vascular neuritis of optic nerve by means of thermography is proposed. Among 47 patients with diagnosis of optic nerve neuritis of unclear etiology, in 37 of them vascular genesis of the disease was diagnosed. The thermograms have shown appearance of dark "cold" spots and a fall of temperature by 1.0 degrees C and lower in the supraorbital and orbital areas of the affected eye. The method is highly precise (90.27%, sensitive (94.9%) and doesn't require long time.
提出了一种通过热成像诊断视神经血管性神经炎的新方法。在47例病因不明的视神经炎患者中，其中37例被诊断为该疾病的血管起源。热成像显示患眼的眶上和眶周区域出现暗的“冷”点，温度下降1.0摄氏度及更低。该方法高度精确（90.27%）、敏感（94.9%）且不需要很长时间。
