"Horses in Color":

Thermal imaging isn’t new to the horse world, though it’s finding its renaissance in today’s performance-charged equine industry.  As thermal camera technology has improved, and standardization in equine imaging is introduced, this diagnostic tool is finding its niche in equine veterinary practice and the horse industry as a whole. Thermal imaging is helping to identify and pinpoint hidden injuries and inflammation, aids in saddle-fitting, may prevent breakdowns and determine whether a horse is ready to compete, provides insight during pre-purchase examinations, and also benefits farriers and general practitioners.

With trained technicians and veterinary interpretation, thermal imaging is finally taking its deserved place among traditional radiography and ultrasound as a useful, non-invasive, diagnostic modality. Thermal imaging provides a whole new vision of equine health.

There will be some research abstracts covered as well.

"Horse's Lower Limbs & IR"

In this talk we will explore the importance of detecting lameness issues in the horses lower limbs through thermal imaging. We will take a look into how this technology will help the owner, trainer, veterinarian and farrier to see abnormalities present even before damage occurs and through the interpretation, how to better aid in the treatment and well-being of the horse.

"Starting an Equine Thermography Business".

This session is for those who are looking to start or add equine thermography to their existing businesses. The topics which will be covered are:

Marketing your business, How much to charge, Procedures and Costs, Terminology, Administrative Concerns

Dr. Robson will be joined in each of the three presentations by the Co-Director of EquineIR, Michael DeLeonardo, C.J.F.,  A.P.F.  R.J.F.
