Abstract

BACKGROUND: Acute appendicitis (AA) is one of the most common diseases requiring emergency surgery. Today, diagnosis of AA is made through anamnesis, physical examination along with advanced imaging methods. Thermal imaging confers advantages over conventional techniques for being portable, non-invasive, easily conducted, ionization radiation-free, and inexpensive. Digital infrared thermal imaging (DITI) has been the subject of research in various clinical scenarios. In this prospective randomized controlled study, diagnostic potential of DITI in AA was investigated. METHODS: Totally, 224 volunteers (112 healthy volunteers and 112 patient volunteers) were enrolled and divided into two groups; control group and patient group. All subjects were assessed by DITI. Steady-state images of both lower quadrants and sternum were taken. Thermal images were transferred to computer software and analyzed. Potential of thermal imaging as a diagnostic method was evaluated. RESULTS: Regarding temperature differences between the quadrants, statistical analysis delivered significant difference between the both groups (p

Özet

AMAÇ: Akut apandisit, acil cerrahi gerektiren en yaygın hastalıklardan biridir. Günümüzde akut apandisit tanısı öykü, fizik muayene ve ileri görüntüleme yöntemleri ile konmaktadır. Termal görüntüleme geleneksel tekniklerine göre, taşınabilir olması, invaziv olmaması, kolayca yapılabilir olması, iyonizasyon radyasyon içermemesi ve ucuz olması gibi avantajlar sağlar. Dijital kızılötesi termal görüntüleme çeşitli klinik çalışmalara araştırma konusu olmuştur. Bu ileriye yönelik randomize kontrollü çalışmada, akut apandisitte dijital kızılötesi termal görüntülemenin tanısal potansiyeli araştırıldı. GEREÇ VE YÖNTEM: Toplam 224 gönüllü (112 sağlıklı gönüllü, 112 hasta gönüllü) kontrol grubu ve hasta grubu olmak üzere iki gruba ayrıldı. Tüm olgular dijital kızılötesi termal görüntüleme ile değerlendirildi. Hem alt kadranların hem de sternumun görüntüleri alındı. Termal görüntüler bilgisayar yazılımına aktarıldı ve analiz edildi. Tanısal yöntem olarak termal görüntülemenin potansiyeli değerlendirildi. BULGULAR: Kadranlar arasındaki sıcaklık farklarına ilişkin olarak, istatistiksel analiz, her iki grup arasında anlamlı farklılık göstermiştir (p
