Written by WellVu | Aug 21, 2024 7:00:00 PM

Infrared thermal imaging is a powerful tool in veterinary medicine, with applications ranging from detecting inflammation to monitoring athletic performance. While it's already being used daily in innovative ways, recently published research has revealed exciting new applications for this versatile imaging technology.

In this webinar, Dr. Ron Riegel shares recent research findings and discusses the implications for thermal imaging use in everyday practice (and beyond). A wide range of potential new applications, from small animals to equine, will be covered.



The following thermal imaging applications will be explored:

  • Detecting and identifying canine obstructive nasal disease (BOAS)
  • Assessing the performance of canine and equine athletes
  • Monitoring the effects of training on military working dogs to identify heat stress, fatigue levels, and dehydration
  • Detecting vascular changes associated with injuries
  • Integration of common equine assessments for injury prevention and rehabilitation progress monitoring
