[Smartphone-based thermography for perforator localisation in microvascular breast reconstruction].

CONCLUSION: Smartphone-based thermography provides an easy, rapid and non-invasive method to present cutaneous differences in temperature. "Hot spots" can reliably illustrate the entrance of perforators. When selecting a suitable perforator, thermography provides additional information for imaging perforator-based flaps.
