Diagnosis of Deep Vein Thrombosis, especially where emergency services, such as lack of time and the critical condition of the patient is of vital importance. Delay in diagnosis affect treatment negatively besides the long wait times and increasing costs. Today, the cost of thermal cameras with rapidly evolving technology is decreasing day by day. In studies, it appears that many diseases are associated with temperature. As a result, the infrared images are thought to be a tool in the diagnosis of various diseases. In this study, infrared thermal imaging have been shown to be useful as a screening test for the diagnosis of Deep Vein Thrombosis with the developed computer aided software.
