Fig. 2From: A case of laparoscopic sigmoidectomy using thermography for colonic blood flow assessmenta–c After first manipulation of colonic mesentery (TG). a After first manipulation of the colonic mesentery. b The image when observed with TG. The right side of the arrowhead (black up-pointing triangle) was the proximal colon. c The temperature of the serosa. The analysis software (ResearchIRMAX) shows the zone of the temperature transition, which indicates that the temperature of the proximal colon was higher than the distal side. The arrow (↑) shows the boundary between ischemic and non-ischemic areasBack to article page
