“…Fomenko, I. Dunaieva A relative temperature scale was used to assess the dynamics of the thermal fields, with the reference temperature area selected in the nonirradiated zone individually for each patient depending on the tumor localization. The simple procedure for quantifying the dynamics of the abnormal thermal field caused by the RID is described in [18].…”

Background. Radiation-induced dermatitis impairs the quality of life of cancer patients and may lead to the need of interrupting radiotherapy. The grade of dermatitis is subjectively assessed by the visual examination. There is an urgent need for both objective and quantitative methods for assessing the current grade of dermatitis and predicting its severity at an early stage of radiotherapy. Aim. The aim of the study was to evaluate the advantages and limitations of infrared thermography for monitoring the current level of radiation-induced dermatitis and predicting its severity by quantitative analysis of the thermal field dynamics in the irradiated zone. Materials and Methods. 30 adult patients were examined by infrared thermography during the course of 2D conventional radiotherapy for malignant tumors of various types and localizations. Our approach for quantifying the thermal field caused by dermatitis alone was applied. A statistical (correlation and ROC) analysis was performed. Results. Dermatitis of varying severity was observed in 100% of the patients studied. The dynamics in the intensity of the anomalous thermal fields in the irradiated zone correlated with the dynamics of dermatitis grades, excluding the case of a radiosensitive tumor (correlation coefficient 0.74÷0.84). It was found that the maximum toxicity (dermatitis grade ≥ 3) develops in patients who how significant hyperthermia in the area of interest (≥ 0.7 °C) at an early stage of radiotherapy. The ROC analysis demonstrated the "good quality" of the prognosis method (AUC = 0.871). Conclusions. The non-invasive and cheap infrared thermography is a suitable tool for objective quantitative monitoring the current dermatitis grade during radiotherapy as well as predicting its severity for any tumor location.

“…Для отримання достовірної інформації про внутрішні процеси, які відбуваються в м'яких тканинах, необхідно правильно провести виміри параметрів температурного поля на поверхні шкіри, врахувати вплив навколишнього середовища та інших побічних факторів, а також коректно провести кількісний аналіз цих параметрів та їх змін у часі [10]. Для вирішення цих завдань потрібні відповідні тепловізійні методики, які містять послідовність дій та прийомів проведення тепловізійного обстеження та аналізу отриманих даних.…”

The review analyzes the existing tools for monitoring the dynamics of thermal fi elds when exposing the soft tissues to low temperatures. Features of contact and non-contact temperature measurements have been considered, their capabilities and limitations have been noted. There was substantiated the need to develop the procedures of intra-operative temperature control. Special attention has been paid to the non-contact non-invasive infrared thermography. This method has been shown to be applied for intra-operative monitoring of the movement of the ice lump edge on the surface of tissues, detection of a disordered thermal symmetry of the ice spot, thermal fi eld dynamics on the surface of tissues inside and outside the area of the operative zone. However, thermal imaging control of the dynamics of the primary necrosis zone and the ice ball edge in the volume of tissues is possible only under certain parameters of cryoimpact, for example, with a short-term cooling of tissues with a quasi-point nitrogen cryoapplicator. The possibility of using thermography at other stages of cryosurgery is also considered, i. e. as the method of additional diagnosis at the stage of surgery planning, as well as during the post-surgery period to control healing, scarring, etc.
