1 hr pre-recorded talk with Elaine Hall of the Equine Thermography Training Centre (ETTC) covering an Introduction to Thermography.
Equine Infrared Thermal Imaging or Thermography is a non-invasive, non-contact, tool that uses the very latest infrared imaging equipment and computer software to detect minute differences in the horse’s thermal and neural condition. Thermography is a qualitative assessment of temperatures. The infrared camera measures heat emissions from the body, visible as a thermal image. It can quickly and efficiently identify areas that may require further investigation. Your vet can then make a decision on any treatment needed and thermography can then be used to monitor the recovery.
This Introduction Talk gives an brief insight into Equine Thermography, touching on its history, explaining some infrared science, showing how equine thermal imaging is useful, but also highlighting some problems and errors encountered along the way. It is designed to give the attendee a flavour of Equine Thermography, showing what a useful technology it is but also why correct training is so important.
Whilst the course is predominantly presented as equine it is relatable to all animals.
The Equine Thermography Training Centre (ETTC) has been set up to implement high standards of Equine Thermography using thermographic and veterinary industry standards to teach the Equine Thermography Certification Courses.
