热成像可用于评估炎症性关节炎的关节受累。现代热成像仪可以测量温度到0-2摄氏度，并同时记录所涉及的区域。研究表明，慢性炎症区域皮肤温度的热成像变化可以恰当地反映类风湿关节炎中其他化学和细胞过程的变化（Ring and Collins, 1970; Collins and Cosh, 1970）。该方法也与注射锝后关节扫描的结果一致（Cosh, Lindsay, Rhys-Davies, and Ring, 1970），并与热敏电阻探头测量的关节内温度相关（Lloyd-Williams, Ring, and Cosh, 1970）。最近Pinder和Ring（1974）表明，热成像记录可以准确定位滑膜组织炎症区域，如滑膜切除术所示。抗炎化合物对动物关节炎症的影响已经用放射测量法进行了量化（Collins和Ring， 1972）。热成像提供了更多关于温度分布的信息。我们希望报告一种定量测量关节炎症的方法，在人，使用热成像。
Thermography can be used for the assessment of joint involvement in inflammatory arthritis. Modem thermographic apparatus allows temperature to be measured to within 0-2 C. and simultaneously records the areas involved. It has been demonstrated that thermographic changes in skin temperature over areas of chronic inflammation properly reflect changes in other chemical and cellular processes in rheumatoid arthritis (Ring and Collins, 1970; Collins and Cosh, 1970). The method also agrees with the findings ofjoint scans after technetium injection (Cosh, Lindsay, Rhys-Davies, and Ring, 1970) and correlates with the intra-articular temperature taken by thermistor probe (Lloyd-Williams, Ring, and Cosh, 1970). Recently Pinder and Ring (1974) have shown that thermographic recordings accurately locate areas of inflamed synovial tissue as shown at synovectomy.The effect of anti-inflammatory compounds on joint inflammationin animals has been quantitated using radiometry (Collins and Ring, 1972). Thermography provides more information about the distribution of temperature. We wish to report a method for the quantitative measurement of joint inflammation in man, using thermography.
