Abstract:

This paper discusses the possibilities of modern medical thermal vision in the diagnosis of Raynaud’s syndrome. The results of the research that has been carried out are evidence that thermal vision provides high information content not only in the verification of secondary Raynaud’s syndrome for various nosological forms of its origin, but also on the stage of the process on specific digits.

Keywords:

thermal vision, Raynaud’s syndrome, regional cold test
