Equine thermography

Equine thermography is a non-invasive and painless way to assess a horse’s health. It can be used to identify problems that may not be visible to the naked eye, such as lameness, muscle soreness, or inflammation in the horse’s joints.

Identify and assess

Thermal imaging can help to identify the source of pain and discomfort in a horse, which can aid in the development of a treatment plan.

It can be used to monitor the effectiveness of treatments, such as physiotherapy or medications, by allowing the veterinarian to see how the horse’s body is responding to the treatment.

Clinical uses of thermal imaging

  • Early injury detection

    Detect the location and extent of early lesions before they are clinically evident

  • Physiological Examination

    Thermography can be used to comprehensively examine animals in pain as well as rescue animals, since the animal is not touched during the examination

  • Early Diagnosis

    Localising problem areas for further examinations and appropriate treatment

  • Follow up treatment and rehabilitation

    Track and objectively monitor the effectiveness of treatment and the recovery progress during rehabilitation

  • Animal Friendly

    Thermography is an animal-friendly diagnostic tool, since it is not based on identifying pain reaction

  • Client Education

    Intuitive visual images aid in client communication and ease of understanding, and justifies your customer’s investment in IR imaging
