Webinar - New Research Expands Thermal Imaging Applications in Veterinary Medicine

Presented by Dr. Ron Riegel, D.V.M

Infrared thermal imaging is a powerful tool in veterinary medicine, with applications ranging from detecting inflammation to monitoring athletic performance. While it's already being used daily in innovative ways, recently published research has revealed exciting new applications for this versatile imaging technology

In this webinar, Dr. Ron Riegel will share recent research findings and discuss their implications for thermal imaging use in everyday practice (and beyond). A wide range of potential new applications, from small animal to equine, will be covered.

The following thermal imaging applications will be explored:
• Detecting and identifying canine obstructive nasal disease (BOAS)
• Assessing the performance of canine and equine athletes
• Monitoring the effects of training on military working dogs to identify heat stress, fatigue levels, and dehydration
• Detecting vascular changes associated with injuries
