VETERINARY THERMAL IMAGING INTERPRETATION COURSE

Thermography is a non-invasive technique that measures emitted heat. Even minimal tissue damage causes changes in blood flow, which is detected by an infrared camera as warm or cool areas. Lameness diagnosis in a horse can be very frustrating when the source of pain is located in the upper leg and is not associated with a synovial structure, if the lameness is too subtle to utilize diagnostic analgesic injections, if the patient is not amenable to these injections, or if the lameness is difficult to eliminate by local analgesic injection. Thermography will show you the location of the injury very easy.
Clinical value of thermography is in its diagnostic use for differential diagnosis between neurovascular injuries, vascular injuries, musculoskeletal injuries and other abnormalities. If thermal abnormalities are evaluated carefully, early diagnosis can be made, even prior to the appearance of clinical signs of joint disease, tendonitis, and various musculoskeletal problems in various animal species.
During this course you will learn to interpret the images.
