Heat scan breakthrough for athlete knee pain?

NCT ID NCT07095738

Summary

This study tested if a special heat-scanning camera (infrared thermography) could help doctors better diagnose patellar tendinopathy, or 'jumper's knee,' in athletes. Researchers compared heat patterns and image textures in the knees of 54 athletes with the condition against healthy athletes. The goal was to see if this quick, non-invasive scan could be a useful and affordable diagnostic tool.
