    Abstract:
    Clinical studies of 22 patients with pathological processes in the spinal cord and vertebral column allowed a new method of diagnosing spinal tumors with the aid thermography on a Soviet thermovision "Rubin" set. According to the preliminary data this method facilitates the diagnosis and differentiation between tumors of the spinal cord. The paper contains thermograms of the back in normals and patients with extramedullar tumors of the spinal cord at the vertebral level D5--D6 and thermograms of the lower extremities in this pathological condition.
