The Individual

Dynamic infrared thermography (DIRT) has been used to locate perforating vessels and to assist in reconstructive breast surgery. Qualitative information on the perforating vessels is obtained by analysing the rate and pattern of rewarming of hot spots which are easily registered with an infrared camera. Thermal measurements are made before and during surgery and are compared with the CT-images available before operation. The thermal images can provide the individual influence of each perforator on the flap, as well as the dimensions of the perfused area. We will investigate if the influence of the different dominant perforators can be assessed by dynamic infrared thermography as a useful tool for recostructive DIEP-flap surgery.

In order to identify the exact location of a useful perforator for DIEP flap breast reconstruction, CT images are made in the pre-operative phase. The aim of this research is to evaluate if dynamic infrared thermography is a helpful tool to check and visualize the blood flow in the flap during the pre- and peroperative phase. The results will be used in order to pinpoint the usefulness of IR thermography as an alternative method for perforator mapping and flapdesign. By means of infrared thermography the blood vessel distribution and its vascularisation of the abdominal wall will be visualized. The thermal images can help to detect the correct perforator and can help to decide which parts of the flap are best perfused and can be used for the DIEP flap reconstruction.

Cooling Methods

Infrared thermography technology has improved drastically in recent years and is regaining interest in medicine for applications such as deep inferior epigastric perforate flap breast reconstruction, breast cancer diagnosis, skin tissue identification, psoriasis detection, etc. However, there is still a need for an optimised measurement setup and protocol in order to capture the most suitable images for decision making and further processing. Nowadays, different cooling methods are being used; nevertheless, a general optimised cooling protocol is not yet defined. In this manuscript, several cooling techniques, as well as the measurement setups, are reviewed and optimised. It is possible to enhance the thermal images by selecting an appropriate cooling method and duration, and additionally, an optimised measurement setup enables a comparison between different inspections.
