Temperature Measurements In Healthy And Diabetic Foot

摘要

The diabetic foot (DF) is not one but a series of conditions that affect the good function of the nervous and circulatory system in low extremities of a patient. These problems may eventually lead to amputation if small infections in foot are not detected in their early stages. In this project the temperature of the right foot in healthy and diabetic patients was measured. The aim was set at finding physiological differences and having a basis for noninvasive diagnosis methodologies that can be developed to assess the degree of infection and other DF problems in patients.
