ABSTRACT:
A thermographic diagnostic device which places a visual mark directly on the skin to indicate localized areas exhibiting skin temperatures a predetermined amount above the temperature of the surrounding areas. A hand held probe with a temperature responsive sensing element and marking instrument at one end is placed in contact with the skin and moved across the body along a desired path. The marking instrument, preferably a pen, is actuated by a control unit when the temperature measured by the sensing element exceeds a preselected temperature relative to surrounding body areas, and a mark is placed on the skin. By moving the probe across the skin in a series of parallel paths, a pattern is placed on the skin corresponding to the localized area of excessive temperature differential.
