Abstract
The present invention provides a vascular catheter apparatus for temperature measurement of vascular tissue, comprising a flexible body (14, 15, 18), at least two thermal sensors (10) mounted on resiliently biased projections (11) depended from the body; and a carrier (13) for transmitting temperature data at the vascular wall from the sensors (10) to a remote device. A computer program associated with the vascular catheter apparatus is provided for manipulating image data and temperature data to generate an output in which the temperature data is mapped onto a corresponding position on an image where that temperature data was detected to provide an integrated graphical image output. The temperature data is thermography data that represents surface temperature at a vascular wall, and the image data is representative of the vascular wall morphology.
