OBJECTIVE
Smartphone-based thermal imaging was evaluated for its utility in the detection of peritonsillar abscesses.
METHODS
We describe six cases of peritonsillar abscess in which computed tomography and thermography scans of the neck were performed prior to surgery.
RESULTS
Open-mouth thermal photographic images were obtained preoperatively from patients, and asymmetric hot spots with significantly higher temperatures in the peritonsillar area were identified as abscesses.
CONCLUSIONS
This new portable smartphone-based thermal imaging technique may be useful in the detection of peritonsillar abscesses.
目的
评估基于智能手机的热成像技术在检测扁桃体周围脓肿中的效用。
方法
我们描述了6例扁桃体周围脓肿病例，这些病例在手术前均进行了颈部计算机断层扫描和热成像扫描。
结果
术前从患者处获取了张口热成像照片，扁桃体周围区域温度明显更高的不对称热点被确定为脓肿。
结论
这种基于智能手机的新型便携式热成像技术可能有助于检测扁桃体周围脓肿。
