Abstract     The paper describes three methods of measurement of surface body temperature: contact measurement, contactless measurement of emitted infrared vawes and measurement by utilization of liquid crystals. The advantages and disadvantages of each method, diagnostic possibilities and limitations of measurement of surface body temperature as well as possible clinical use of measurement of skin temperature in disorders of arterial blood supply to the limbs are discussed. In vasospastic vascular disorders, the skin temperature is significantly lower on some or all fingers, especially during the vasospatic period. Skin temperature is continuously lower in organic disorders of arterial blood supply. The temperature change appears usually on one side. In acute disorders of arterial blood supply, the changes in temperaure are usually more profound.
Summary     Sestavek opisuje tri metode merjenja površinske telesne temperature, in sicer: kontaktno merjenje s toplotnim odjemnikom, brezkontkatno merjenje izsevanih infrardečih valov inmerjenje s pomočjo tekočih kristalov. Predstavljene so prednosti in slabosti posamezne metode merjenja ter diagnostične možnosti in omejitve merjenja telesne površinske temperature. Predstavljen je tudi klinični pomen merjenja kožne temperature pri motnjah arterijske prekrvitve udov. Pri vazospastičnih žilnih boleznih je kožna temperature značilno znižana na posameznih ali vseh prstih rok. Temperatura je znižana med vazospastičnimi obdobji. Pri organskih motnjah arterijske prekrvitve udov pa je kožna temperature stalno znižana. Sprememba temperature je praviloma enostranska. Čim krajša je cirkulacijska motnja, tem nižja je temperatura prizadetega uda.
