Infrared thermal imaging is increasingly being recognised as an important tool to aid diagnosis and early identification of injury

 

As a preventative measure Thermal Imaging can

     · provide base-line data

     · identify areas of stress

     · flag sub-clinical problems

allowing for early adjustment to training, exercise programmes and workload

 

 

 

 

 

Injuries, whether open wound, fracture, muscle or tendon tear, will create increased blood flow  –  resulting in raised, localised body temperature that can be picked up using thermal imagery … often before any physical signs or symptoms have become apparent

 

 

As an aid to veterinary diagnosis significant thermal asymmetry can be highlighted for further investigation, together with any accompanying compensatory patterns.

Thermal imaging can also be used to track the healing process itself providing before, during and after treatment images in order to monitor progress.
