Deep Vein Thrombosis
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) occurs when a blood clot forms in one or more of the deep veins in the body, usually occurring in the legs. DVT can cause leg pain or swelling but also can occur with no symptoms. DVT can be very serious, if undetected, blood clots in the veins can break loose, travel through the bloodstream and lodge in the lungs, blocking blood flow (pulmonary embolism).
Early detection of DVT is critical to prevent a pulmonary embolism. However, most conventional methods for diagnosing DVT are functionally limited and complicated.
Thermography is an effective screening tool for DVT due to its convenience, rapid response, and high sensitivity.

Gout
Gout is a common and complex form of arthritis, caused by inflammation. It is characterized by sudden, severe attacks of pain, swelling, redness and tenderness in the joints, often found in the joint at the base of the big toe.
Measurement of skin temperature is utilized to assess localized or regional inflammation. Thermography has been found to be a valuable aid, being both precise and accurate.

Thoracic Outlet Syndrome
Thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) is a condition whereby symptoms are produced from compression of nerves or blood vessels, or both, because of an inadequate passageway through an area between the base of the neck and the upper chest area known as the thoracic outlet. This compression can cause pain in the shoulders, neck, arms or hands. The impaired circulation to the extremities causes discoloration, numbness and tingling in the fingers.
Common causes of TOS include repetitive injuries such as sports-related activities, physical trauma or certain structural abnormalities.
