Accuracy of Thermal Imaging Camera in Identification of Perforators.OBJECTIVE
 To determine the diagnostic accuracy of thermal imaging camera in the identification of perforators using peroperative visual inspection as gold standard.


 Diagnostic accuracy in identification of perforators in pedicled (n=154) and free flaps (n=30) by thermal imaging camera was calculated as sensitivity of 86.2%, specificity of 80.0% with the positive and negative predictive values of 98.7%, and 25.0%, respectively.


 Flir One, a smartphone-compatible miniature thermal imaging camera, is useful for the detection of perforators and is highly sensitive and specific.  Key Words:  Flir One, Perforators, Thermal imaging, Thermal imaging camera.
