[Dynamic telethermography in dermatology].

Dynamic telethermography permits direct observation of the emission of infrared rays from the skin of the human body. A certain number of dermatological diseases are liable to modify this emission and then show more or less localised hypo- or hyperthermia, e. g. malignant melanomas which represent the best indication for this new means of paraclinical investigation which has the advantage of being strictly atraumatic. The other black tumours of the skin, the skin carcinomas, certain hematodermias, cutaneous metastases and pre-cancerous conditions, radiotherapy lesions and burns, and hemangiomas may also benefit from this method. In fact, the latter may give some information on their degree of spread and their extension and response to treatment.
