Can a simple thermal camera spot blood flow changes in leg arteries?
NCT ID NCT06544135
First seen Jul 02, 2026 · Last updated Jul 02, 2026
Summary
This study explores whether a thermal imaging camera can detect changes in blood flow to the legs after a procedure to reopen blocked arteries. Researchers will compare temperature readings from the camera with standard ankle-brachial index measurements in 25 people with severe peripheral artery disease. If successful, this could lead to a faster, painless way to evaluate treatment success.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
FLIR One Pro LT thermal imaging camera
What this could lead to
If thermal imaging proves reliable, it could offer a quick, non-invasive way to assess blood flow in leg arteries without needles or contrast dye.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early observational study with only 25 participants. The camera may not be accurate enough to replace standard tests, and results may not apply to all patients.
