Once thermal images have been captured, trained equine thermal imaging technicians (thermographers) will be able to accurately measure heat emissions from a horse’s body, allowing them to identify problem areas such as:
- Nerve damage
- Bone injury
- Undiagnosed lameness
- Muscle damage
- Soft-tissue damage
- Tendon stress
- Incorrect saddle fit
Thermal imaging technicians are also able to monitor injury, recovery and equine performance in general. This makes equine thermography an invaluable tool for trainers, practicing veterinarians and physiotherapists.
