Infantile Hemangioma Status by Dynamic Infrared Thermography – A Preliminary Study

摘要

BackgroundInfantile hemangiomas (IH) are initially warm due to increased proliferation perfusion then involute with apoptosis and reduced perfusion. Objective quantitative evaluation of IH treatment response is essential for improving outcomes. We applied a functional imaging method, dynamic infrared (IR) thermography, to investigate IH status versus control skin and over time.
