Infrared Thermal Imaging, also known as IRT, is a miracle time saving adjunctive screening tool. Unlike other imaging options, IRT looks at the ENTIRE body of a horse and identifies areas of dysfunction, accurately pinpointing musculoskeletal inflammation, injury and exact location. One quick full-body scan speeds up the diagnostic process, starts treatment earlier and resolves the problem sooner
and more effectively. IRT works by using a medically approved Infrared Thermal Imaging Camera which scans the entire body of a horse while quickly identifying health problems simply by seeing the invisible. This technology's high-resolution imaging measures the thermal temperature variations and changes emitted from a horse’s body and documents the entire physiology. With pinpoint accuracy, injury and inflammation are easily detected due to the heat they emit, making it easy to see pain points in any horse. In most instances detective work needs to be done in order to narrow down the problem area. Give your horse a voice with Infrared Thermal Imaging (IRT). If used as a first line of detection, IRT can quickly identify health problems in a horse’s body. With one quick full-body scan, IRT pinpoints pain points and inflammation, saving owners a lot of heartache, time and money. IRT simply maps all the musculoskeletal temperature variations radiating from a horse's body. Raised heat temperatures measured means trouble is brewing and quickly pinpoints and identifies inflammation, injuries and their exact location. IRT is very accurate, convenient, quick and extremely affordable. IRT can be used regularly to continually monitor a horse's health status. IRT Can Detect the following:
• Evasive Lameness Issues
• Fractures
• Joint Issues
• Muscles Injury
• Ligament and Tendon Injury
• Circulation Problems
• Abscesses
• Infections
• Nerve Damage
• Scroliliac Problems
• Kissing Spine
• Cervical Problems
• Hoof Issues, Infections, Imbalance and Abscesses
• Dental problems
• Saddle fit issues, pinching and damage
• And more…
Do you need our help? Our Certified Veterinary Equine Thermographers have been specially trained in equine infrared thermal imaging. We use only veterinary approved thermal imaging cameras and follow the specific “Standards & Protocol” necessary to produce the controlled environment necessary to image in. We’ll come right to your location so you don’t have to travel and that stress to your horse is minimized. And, we will image your horse’s entire body to locate those problem areas that you may not even be aware of. We'll even work with your DVM, farrier and saddle fitter if you'd like. Our goal is to help you help your horse. IRT is not harmful to your horse. There is no radiation emitted. We don’t even need to touch your horse when imaging. The IRT Camera just picks up the heat radiating from your horse’s body and maps it for us so we can see problem areas. There is no need to sedate your horse or to even be nervous out the process. Imaging is accurate, fast, convenient and affordable. BUYER BEWARE:
Equine Thermal Imaging is NOT regulated by the U.S. Government so don’t put your horse or your wallet at risk. Only work with a Certified Veterinary Equine Thermographer who understands how to image properly and uses the correct veterinary approved thermal imaging equipment for your horse.
