Infrared thermal imaging is a non contact, non invasive, and painless approach to diagnosing illness, disease, etc. It has become a very popular way for veterinarians to diagnose animals. Infrared cameras are typically inexpensive, portable and non invasive; allowing veterinarians to monitor and diagnose animals on site. This technology has been used at the Olympics to monitor equestrian events. Infrared thermal imaging is widely used by veterinary practitioners in such fields as horses, greyhounds, zoos, aquariums and general wildlife. It can be a very portable and cost effective way of diagnosing problems and thus preventing unnecessary injuries to the animals. |
