Summary

This study looked at whether infrared thermography, a low-cost and non-invasive heat-sensing camera, can help diagnose patellar tendinopathy (jumper's knee) in athletes. Researchers compared thermal images of the knees of 54 athletes—some with the condition and some healthy—to see if temperature patterns could tell them apart. The goal was to find a simpler, cheaper way to diagnose this common sports injury without relying on expensive MRIs.
