Thermography (I think) is what looks for blood pooling or changes in temperature and has been used by many doctors to confirm CRPS/RSD, although that is now considered less than reliable for diagnostic purposes.
Hey Tessa! What is thermography? I've never heard of that.

I was told when I had my 3-phase bone scan that it checked for blood pooling and flow. And that is what I read online too...and that it is not very reliable. Did not know about it showing those other things??
