Foils coated with specific cholesterol esters indicate differences in temperature by changes in color. When these foils are placed on the skin, the skin temperature measured is related to the perfusion provided by the vessels supplying this area of the skin. A group of 300 patients were examined simultaneously with plate thermography and directional Doppler sonography in order to detect obstruction or occlusions of the carotid artery. Abnormalities were found in 42 patients. In 31, the positive findings obtained by the 2 methods were in agreement. In 8 only plate thermography gave a positive result, and in 3 only Doppler sonography yielded a relevant finding. Plate thermography as a method for the detection of a stenosis or an occlusion of the carotid artery is suggested as useful for an initial screening method.
涂有特定胆固醇酯的箔片通过颜色变化来显示温度差异。当将这些箔片置于皮肤上时，所测得的皮肤温度与供应该皮肤区域的血管所提供的灌注有关。一组300名患者同时接受了平板热成像和定向多普勒超声检查，以检测颈动脉的阻塞或闭塞情况。42名患者发现有异常。其中31名患者两种方法得到的阳性结果一致。仅平板热成像给出阳性结果的有8名患者，仅多普勒超声得出相关结果的有3名患者。平板热成像作为检测颈动脉狭窄或闭塞的一种方法，被认为是一种有用的初步筛查方法。
