Quantifying Thermal Patterns Across Canine Body and Limbs
Abnormal surface patterns revealed in thermal images may indicate the presence of injury, disease, or inflammation in canines. Despite the use of infrared thermography in a laboratory setting, clinical application cannot be fully utilized without understanding isothermic patterns of the canine body....
