Reliability Evaluation of Temnography for Early Detection of Intracranial Lesions in Mild Traumatic Brain Injury Patient: A Preliminary Report of a New Portable, Non-Invasive Device
The device's ability to differentiate patients with intracranial lesions from those without can streamline the diagnostic and therapeutic process, potentially leading to improved patient outcomes. If Temnography will maintain high standards of sensitivity and specificity with the expansion of the enrolled population, it could be considered as a stable screening tool in the Emergency Room (ER). We could think to apply this technology to reduce the length of stay that patients with mTBI have to spend in ER for observation. Temnography could also be useful in special categories of patients such as pregnant women or the pediatric population. Moreover, another front of future development of this technology could be extending the study to include Territorial Emergency. In this context, Temnography could aid centralized decision-making in patient care.
