Thermography is an ideal technique for detecting soft tissue injuries in our equine athletes.
Injured tissues invariably experience an altered circulation. One of the cardinal signs of inflammation is heat, due to increased circulation. A medical thermogram is a methodology, which allows the detection of soft tissue injuries by measuring the surface temperature of an object. How Thermography Works Thermography is a noninvasive diagnostic application, which uses infrared technology to measure the surface temperatures of the skin. What Thermography Will Show You Increased blood flow, such as from inflammation or injury, will correlate to an area of increased heat.
