http://www.equineIR.com EquineIR: Infrared Thermal Imaging Scans -- United Infrared just graduated new thermographers from its EquineIR.com course; the 24-hour long class uses FLIR & other infrared cameras, with its field work at a local ranch and at the Del Mar Racetrack with thoroughbred race horses. United Infrared, Inc. is the largest network of certified and properly trained equine thermographers in the world, as well as leaders in all aspects of using infrared imaging in the building sciences. Specific uses in building sciences include: roofing, block wall, electric, data centers, energy use, moisture intrusion into buildings. The company just uploaded hundreds of photos to its FlickR page. It is publicly available for viewing at http://www.flickr.com/ United Infrared is also at the forefront of using thermal imaging in new areas, particularly the life sciences. Thermography has been used successfully in breast tissue work, where it can find anomalies, sometimes sooner than other, current technologies! Some of the many uses of thermography in the horse industry includes pre-purchase, hoof balancing, inflammation, general diagnostics & preventive medicine, pre-event imaging, saddle fit, as well as muscle/nerve injury. Before Thermography, Veterinarians could only locate problems using traditional methods such as observation and palpation. Now, using advanced EquineIR™ A horse’ Equine infrared thermal imaging was prominently featured at the recently-completed Thermal Imaging Conference 2013 in San Diego, and is also slated to be a part of the Thermal Imaging Conference 2014 in Las Vegas, June 2-5. Go to ThermalImagingConference.com to see all the details. Infrared thermography, a technology first introduced to the equine industry in the 1960s, is finally making its way into the horse health business. Simultaneously, it is proving itself as a career opportunity for horse enthusiasts. United Infrared, Inc., the world’ A thermal imaging scan is a non-invasive diagnostic procedure. A thermal imaging camera is used to convert infrared waves into images visible with the human eye. The camera detects points of heat in the body. “The science is simple,” Over a period of many years, Hopkins, in conjunction with a series of well qualified and IR trained veterinarians, developed a whole body scan procedure. Owners are instructed to prepare the horse before the thermographer’s visit. The routine begins with a short period of exercise to stimulate blood flow, followed by a prescribed rest period. Although the horse’ The images can either be sent to United Infrared’ Basically, as the owner of an animal, there is an obligation to take care of it, and when an issue is not obvious, then diagnostic tools, such as an equine scan, in the hands of a specially-trained veterinarian, can be helpful. This short video helps to sort through the issues. Infrared scans for horses are typically performed with a high-resolution IR camera, such as a FLIR camera, model T420, Minimum resolution of 320 x 240 pixels is required for equine work. Other acceptable cameras are manufactured by Testo, Fluke and Palmer-Wahl...just be sure and check the resolution; ask your equine imaging tech just to be sure! Basically, as the owner of an animal, there is an obligation to take care of it, and when an issue is not obvious, then diagnostic tools, such as an equine scan, in the hands of a specially-trained veterinarian, can be helpful. This short video helps to sort through the issues. United Infrared will shortly announce the next class on thermal imaging to teach those interested in the care of horses and their injuries.
