Abstract EN
Purpose.
Thermographic assessment of temperature distribution within the examined tissues allows a quick, noncontact, noninvasive measurement of their temperature.
The aim of the study was to evaluate the usefulness of digital infrared imaging in monitoring experimental inflammation of pleura (PL), lower lip (LL), and left paw (LP) and right paw (RP) of lower limbs in rats.
Materials and Methods.
The inflammatory reaction was induced by injection of 1% carrageenin solution into pleural cavity, lip, or paws.
With the use of digital infrared imaging temperature measurement was conducted at 0 to 72 hours of the inflammatory reaction.
Results.
The temperature decrease was observed at the site of injection directly afterwards.
Next, it was gradually increasing and it reached the maximum on the third day of the inflammatory reaction.
Statistically significant changes were observed after 48-hour period in PL and LL regions, as well as after 72-hour period in LP and RP regions P<0.005.
Conclusion.
It was found that thermographic examination allows for indicating the presence of inflammatory reaction within examined tissues and determining the dynamics of this process.
This method could be used as alternative procedure that allows using fewer animals for experiments.
