tic response is visualized in DITI as a localized area of altered temperature with specific features for different anatomical lesions. In peripheral nerve injury, for instance, the mean temperature differential is 1.5O C, and in sympathetic dysfunction it ranges from 10 C to 100 C, depending on the severity of the dysfunction. Pathological changes usually involve inflammatory changes, such as in synovitis or muscle injuries, etc. Both hot and cold responses may coexist if the pain associated with an inflammatory response excites increased sympathetic activity, and vascular conditions such as vasculitis or limb ischemia are readily demonstrated by DITI. It can be used to monitor thermal abnormalities in both disease and physical injury, for diagnosis, therapy, rehabilitation and monitoring in rheumatology, neurology, physiotherapy, sports medicine, oncology, orthopedics and pediatrics. In sports medicine, DITI is used for diagnosis of epicondylitis, patellofemoral syndrome, ankle injuries, shin splints, stress fractures, myo
