Thermography Thermography is the pictorial representation of the surface temperature of an object. It is a non-invasive technique that measures emitted heat. A medical thermogram represents the surface temperatures of skin, making thermography useful for the detection of inflammation. Although thermographic images measure only skin temperature, they also reflect alterations in the circulation of deeper tissues. This ability to assess inflammatory change non-invasively makes thermography an ideal imaging tool to aid in the diagnosis of certain lameness conditions in the horse. Veterinarians have specific systems for performing examinations, depending on the reasons for the examination. However essential features of a thorough examination include: The medical history of the horse A visual appraisal of the horse at rest Evaluation of the horse in motion A thorough hands-on exam Application of hoof testers to the feet Joint flexion tests Drug tests Dr.Casey performs the following diagnostic tests in order to isolate the specific location and cause of lameness: Radiographs Diagnostic nerve and joint blocks Arthroscopy Ultrasound (Sonography) Blood, synovial (joint) fluid, and tissue samples Thermography Lameness Sports Medicine Dr. Casey incorporates riding a horse as part of an examination, if necessary.
