A Pilot Study of Infrared Thermal Imaging to Detect Active Bone Lesions in Children With Chronic Nonbacterial Osteomyelitis.OBJECTIVE
 An inexpensive and rapid imaging tool, infrared thermal imaging, was evaluated for its utility to detect active bone lesions in extremities of children with CNO.


 All subjects underwent infrared thermal imaging of the lower extremities.  Infrared thermal data were analyzed using custom software by dividing the leg below the knee into 3 equal segments longitudinally and adding the distal femur segment as an equal length above the knee.  Larger studies are warranted to further evaluate the clinical utility of infrared thermal imaging for CNO detection.
