Comparative analysis of thermographic parameters for the two PD score categories.
| Thermographic Parameter |
Mean (SD) Within Ultrasound Category | Difference (95% CI) | p-Value a | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| TPD Score > 1 | TPD Score ≤ 1 | |||
| Total Tmax | 321.3 (22.1) | 298.8 (20.0) | 22.5 (6.3–38.8) | 0.007 ** |
| Total Tavg | 310.7 (22.1) | 290.0 (18.3) | 20.7 (4.6–36.9) | 0.013 * |
| Total Tmin | 301.9 (22.7) | 282.0 (17.2) | 19.9 (3.4–36.5) | 0.019 * |
Abbreviations: Tmax, maximum temperature; Tavg, average temperature; Tmin, minimum temperature; TPD, total power Doppler. a Comparative analysis performed using the 2-independent samples t-test. Statistically significant: * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01.
