Thermal  Imaging  &  The  Performance  Horse

Most horses train hard to reach peak performance. Top racehorses, upper level show horses and polo ponies are financial commodities, and not pets. When their performance decreases, their value also drops; having a quick and effective diagnostic evaluation tool is imperative to keeping these horses sound and performing maximally. Performance horses present with many different lesions on thermal imaging scans – from tendon and ligament tears (confirmed with anatomic imaging), to bone inflammation, muscle inflammation or atrophy, splints, and other performance limiting injuries.

Thermal imaging is absolutely a must have preventive diagnosis tool in your bag.

With an accuracy of 0.04 degree per pixel, thermal imaging uses advanced infrared technology to detect very early sign of inflammation in the body, thus preventing serious problem to develop and their associated expenses and down time.

The leading cause for lost of training time is Athletic Injuries

Extensive research in human and equine fields has demonstrated that many injuries and physical conditions can be accurately detected using Infra-red Themography before any physical signs and symptoms are visibly apparent, up to two weeks before symptoms, and it provides a unique way to monitor a horses recovery from intense activity, injury and illness.

Thermal  Imaging  &  The  Recreational  Horse

Regardless of age, breed and discipline, all horses in time will suffer from the ware and tare of working. Arthritis is the most common degenerative problem in any type of horse, not to mention the occasional abscesses and tendon and ligament tears. The moment you feel, or see your horse slow down, use thermal imaging scans to quickly, safely, and effectively evaluate you animal's condition. This valuable process will save you time and money not to mention discomfort to your animal.
