Abstract

Using the thermography method, we studied the state of the upper limbs of 43 patients with Raynaud’s disease, 37 of which were operated as a result of dynamic observation in the process of conservative treatment. A directly proportional relationship between the thermal imaging pattern and the treatment method of microcirculatory disorder in the distal sections of the upper limbs has been revealed. It is established that visualization of the contour of fingers at the level of distal phalanges may result in both conservative and surgical treatment – upper thoracic sympathectomy or distal periarterial and thoracic sympathectomy in combination with finger amputation. Taking into account the received data, we confirmed that the use of a thermographic study with computer data processing in the diagnosis of the pathological process of the upper limbs is a method of selecting the principle of treatment (conservative or surgical).
