Equine and Veterinary Thermal Imaging

Since animals cannot speak, it has been difficult for caretakers to truly identify hidden or masked conditions. Now with infrared thermal imaging many of these physiological and anatomical issues are exposed at a much earlier stage.

Early detection = Early prevention

Anatomical imaging, such as X-Ray, lacks specificity and fails in the ability to see soft tissue conditions.

Physiological imaging, such as infrared imaging has the ability to not only see tissue conditions but can also recognize areas that are indicative of anatomical issues.

Equine Thermal Imaging

The Benefits:

Non-invasive and completely safe
Imaging takes about 30 minutes to scan a full horse
Scans are done at your location so the animal does not have to be trailered.
Reports are reviewed and interpreted by a veterinarian specialized in equine thermography.
Costs are reasonable and include veterinary interpretation.

Equine Saddle Fit

A horse's saddle should fit correctly and have even bearing on a horse's back. A thermal review of the horse and the saddle can show where or if pressure points are unevenly distributed causing discomfort to the horse and rider.

Veterinary

Equines are not the only animals we image. We also have extensive experience with exotic animals. Thermal imaging can benefit these animals too. Unlike a horse, getting a tiger or elephant to get an x-ray is not only challenging, but it puts undue stress on these beautiful creatures. We can image these animals through the enclosure with the help of their caretakers. Once the images have been interpreted by the veterinarian, a decision can be made as to how to move forward and best treat the animal.
