equine thermography - equine infrared thermal imaging - joint inflammation - horse joint injury

A 13 year old Novice eventer presented with reduced performance XC and was referred by a Welsh equine hospital for full anatomical scan.

Thermal Imaging of the dorsal gaskin identified inflammation in the stifle, which couldn’t yet be felt by hand. Remedial exercise programme and anti-inflammatories were prescribed.
