The authors analyze 120 observations of children admitted to the hospital with suspected acute appendicitis for the period from 1977 till 1978. Positive thermographic results were obtained in 71 of 83 operated patients and in 22 of 32 non-operated patients the diagnosis of acute appendicitis was rejected. Thermographic data on different stages of peritonitis and destructive forms of appendicitis are presented. These data combined with others allowed the stage of the inflammatory process and the degree of the severity of the condition to be established. The dynamic observation during the postoperative period suggests that the thermographic method is a necessary and timely one for revealing postoperative complications and choice of therapeutic tactics.
作者分析了1977年至1978年期间因疑似急性阑尾炎入院的120例儿童观察病例。83例接受手术的患者中有71例热成像结果呈阳性，32例未接受手术的患者中有22例急性阑尾炎诊断被排除。文中呈现了关于腹膜炎不同阶段和阑尾炎坏疽型的热成像数据。这些数据与其他数据相结合，有助于确定炎症过程的阶段和病情的严重程度。术后期间的动态观察表明，热成像方法对于发现术后并发症和选择治疗策略是一种必要且及时的方法。
