Dynamic infrared thermography and smartphone thermal imaging as an adjunct for preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative perforator free flap monitoring

Figure 6. Intraoperative: subjectively, note “normal” appearance of anterolateral thigh flap, yet descending branch of lateral circumflex femoral source pedicle has been clamped (arrow) (left), but, as would be anticipated, the thermogram contradicts the observer’s assessment as the entire flap is cool, since indeed there was no perfusion and so no radiative heat loss (right)
