Abstract/Notes

A case report is presented of a 28 year old male who incurred an acceleration type injury to the low back. Investigation utilizing the Flexi-Therm Mark II ®L.C.T. liquid crystal thermography revealed a right sided L5 and a left sided S1 nerve fiber irritation subsequently confirmed by CT scanning. Thermography apparently has a 93% rate of accuracy when compared to EMG, and is a relatively objective examination test procedure. Brief discussion of the method is given and the routine views for a lumbar study are described.
