Table 1 Color normalization and image views that yielded best experimental success rate in differentiating thermograms of canine limbs affected with bone neoplasia from that of their normal contralateral limbs
From: Medical infrared thermal imaging of canine appendicular bone neoplasia
Aspect of the limb | Best view | Color normalization | Overall success | Sensitivity | Specificity |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Proximal (shoulder/hip) | Lateral | normRGB-lum | 75% | 70% | 80% |
Middle (elbow/stifle) | Cranial | normRGB | 88% | 80% | 95% |
Distal (carpus/tarsus) | Caudal | normRGB-lum | 100% | 100% | 100% |
Full limb | Cranial | normRGB-lum | 90% | 100% | 80% |
