The thermography of the plantar skin has been used to assess the feet complications of the patient with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, T2DM,1-3 particularly, for the follow up of the treatments of the Peripheral Artery Diseases, PAD.4 Furthermore, the photoplethysmogram (PPG), may be used to observe the blood flow on the toes.5 Then, as a complement to these results, in this communication, the thermograms and the PPG of a female patient with T2DM, at the before and after revascularization surgery were compared with those of a female with no signs neither symptoms of PAD. The thermograms, acquired with a Flir® E6 thermal camera, were used to quantify the average temperature of the angiosomes6 of the foot (Tang). While, the PPG were photographed from the screen of an Hergon® pulse oximeter, located on the second toe of the assessed foot.
