Thermogram of legs showing deep vein thrombosis
Thermogram of the lower legs, showing the heat distribution pattern of a deep vein thrombosis in the left calf. The obvious increase in temperature over the left leg is due to inflammation associated with the formation of a blood clot in one of the deep veins. Blood clots formed in veins may be responsible for arterial obstructions in other parts of the circulation, since part of the clot may break away to subsequently lodge in and possibly block a small artery. Colour coding ranges from white (warm) to blue (cool), with colours representing steps of 1 degree C. The reference disc is calibrated at 30 degrees C

Thermogram Thrombosis Vascular Condition Disorder Health Care
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a thermogram of the lower legs, providing a visual representation of deep vein thrombosis (DVT). The heat distribution pattern depicted reveals the alarming increase in temperature over the left leg, indicating inflammation caused by the formation of a blood clot within one of the deep veins. Deep vein thrombosis is a serious medical condition where blood clots form in veins, potentially leading to arterial obstructions elsewhere in the body. These clots have the potential to break away and travel through circulation, blocking small arteries along their path. The color coding utilized in this image ranges from white (representing warmth) to blue (indicating coolness), with each color representing increments of 1 degree Celsius. This allows for an accurate assessment and understanding of temperature variations associated with DVT. Accompanied by a reference disc calibrated at 30 degrees Celsius, this photograph serves as an invaluable resource for healthcare professionals seeking to diagnose and treat patients affected by vascular disorders such as deep vein thrombosis. Science Photo Library has expertly captured this visually striking image that not only educates but also raises awareness about this potentially life-threatening condition. It emphasizes the importance of early detection and prompt medical intervention when dealing with DVT or any related vascular issues.
