Claim One:
1. A method of evaluating foot inflammation, the method comprising: using at least one temperature detection modality to form a first thermogram and a separate second thermogram of the sole of at least one foot, each thermogram forming a substantially continuous set of two-dimensional temperature values across the sole of the at least one foot, the first thermogram having first features, the second thermogram having second features; controlling a device to apply at least one transformation to one or both of the first and second thermograms to align the first features of the first thermogram with corresponding second features of the second thermogram; determining, at any thermogram location, if at least one of the thermograms present one of a plurality of patterns indicative of inflammation; and producing output information indicating the result of the determination of whether the thermograms present one of the plurality of patterns.
