What is Digital Thermography? Digital thermography uses infrared thermal imaging to provide a non-invasive physiological body scan that can help evaluate your pet’s circulation, neurological and musculoskeletal function. It is another valuable tool for canine rehabilitation professionals to help guide our evaluation. It can also be used to determine progress or effectiveness of treatments. |
