Bilateral
Thermogram of a Tibia |
|

The
hypervascularity of pagetic bone may be associated with an increase
in blood flow to adjacent soft tissue and skin, thus increasing
the skin temperature. This is most easily appreciated in the
tibia, as seen in the bilateral thermography of this patient
with Paget's disease. |

The
thermogram on the left shows increased heat as evidenced by the orange
color, as contrasted to the normal contralateral limb.
