Large Animals
Infrared Technology is a valuable addition to large animal diagnostics performed by a veterinarian or other qualified diagnostician. Primarily used for horses and other large animals, Infrared (IR) Thermography will detect signs of
- inflammation
- muscular-skeletal injuries
- soft tissue injuries
- nerve damage
- infection
Surface temperature is the first thing to change when a problem develops. Thermaview will display the heat signatures that show exactly where and how bad these problems may be. Regular monitoring with Thermaview can reveal potential problems weeks before they are visually or physically detectable. If a problem is suspected a veterinarian or other qualified person may view the results of the Thermaview scan to assess and diagnose the area of concern.
Thermaview services include:
- A comprehensive infrared scan including 40+ images of the animal's critical muscular and skeletal areas.
- A formal report complete with color pictures showing the hot and cool spots caused by the inflammation or injury.

Thermaview employs technicians who have been thoroughly trained in capturing infrared images. The role of the technician is to provide pictures to assist qualified personnel in diagnosing problems, similar to an X-ray technician.
