Diagnostic Testing Available
- Digital thermography is a diagnostic test that provides a scan of emitted radiated energy from the patient’s body. Hot spots are commonly associated with inflammation, thus is a great tool for localizing regions of the body that have pathology. This is useful to help determine the site on a limb that may be causing a patient’s lameness.
