The diabetic foot is a degeneration of the vascular structure of the foot, with the patients presenting neurological degeneration, which need to be identified at an early stage. The aim of this research was to study the use of infrared thermography in analysing the temperature variability of the foot in diabetic patients, segmenting the sole of the foot into four areas of interest. Methods A descriptive, cross-sectional, and observational study was conducted in a sample of 277 diabetic patients [138 men (49.8%) and 139 women (50.2%)], with a mean age of 63.41 ± 17.69 years and BMI of 29.08 ± 5.86. Images were acquired with a FLIR E60bx® infrared camera. The data was analysed statistically using the IBM SPSS Statistics 22 program package. Results The results showed that the technique distinguishes any temperature variability between the different study areas of the soles of either foot. Conclusions In evaluating the foot at risk, infrared thermography can provide useful clinical information to assist in the early diagnosis and prevention of lesions in compromised zones of the foot.}}
