Abstract

Aim of research. The improvement of the quality of diagnostics in patients with acute paranasal sinusitis, based on the remote infrared thermography.

Materials and methods. 300 patients were examined. Among them: patients with acute paranasal sinusitis – 200 persons and control group – 100 persons. These data are based on the result of analysis of thermographic examination of patients with acute paranasal sinusitis. The age of patients varied within 19–91years.

RIT was realized in all thematic patients and control group, using thermograph of 3 generation on the base of microbolometric matrix with format 384х288 elements with inserted screen.

Examination and treatment was carried out on the clinical base of otolaryngology department of KNMU: in ENT department and polyclinic of Kharkiv regional hospital from 2015 to 2016 inclusive.

Results. The distribution of parameters of the remote infrared thermography of paranasal sinuses in practically healthy people was established depending on age and sex. At that the thermoasymmetry was not more than 0,4 °С (р<0,05).

At interpretation of thermographic picture at the catarrhal, serous and purulent sinusitis we revealed that the temperature parameters are raised in projection of pathological process statistic reliability.

At the acute catarrhal sinusitis – Т=34,6±0,7 °С, where êТ=0,4–0,9 °С, serous – Т=34,3±0,5 °С, where êТ=1,0–1,4 °С, acute purulent – Т=34,6±0,85 °С, where êТ=1,5–2,5 °С.

Conclusions. Thus, using the data of infrared thermography, received at analysis of thermograms of practically healthy people and patients with problems in projection of paranasal sinuses, the early diagnostics of the acute inflammatory process in nasal sinuses can be realized
