    Abstract:
    121 patients with different affections of the thyroid were examined by the method of color thermography. In patients with signs of hyperthyroidism or inflammation of the thyroid a local skin hyperthermia of the anterior jugular surface was observed. In the presence of euthyroid or hypothyroid struma skin temperature changes are either entirely absent, or there is a moderately pronounced local hypothermia. Cancer of the thyroid, as a rule, causes a more pronounced local skin hypothermia on the anterior jugular aspect.
