Del Mar Ir Equine Imaging
Greater San Diego Area
Del Mar IR Equine Imaging is a San Diego based equine thermography (infrared scanning) service. Unlike conventional X-rays, thermography does not use radiation and is therefore perfectly safe for the horse and the handler. Equine thermography pinpoints areas of thermal irregularities that can correlate to areas of inflammation as well as soft tissue, muscle and bone damage. Infrared imaging has proved to be a valuable tool in the monitoring of performing, injured or the recovering equine. Its use as a tool in the pre-diagnosis of significant injury, allows the detection of injuries up to three weeks before major anatomical disruption occurs. Detailed thermal images are taken of the whole horse with emphasis on:• Stifles• Hocks• Legs • Back • Hooves
