High-Resolution Infrared Imaging for Leg Wound Monitoring in a North Carolina Stable. Clinical case

Debra Parker 1, Dr. Sergio Machado 2

Introduction: Equine limb wounds are common injuries that often require prolonged healing periods. Thermography, a non-invasive, non-contact, non-ionizing radiation imaging technique, is a valuable resource for clinical imaging.

Objective: To describe the clinical, photographic, and thermal behavior of a wound in a horse at stable foot over a three-week period, and its quantitative thermal description linked to the predefined wound bed and surrounding areas.

Case: Around June 21, 2025, an 8-year-old Quarter Horse mare used for pleasure riding sustained a deep laceration wound in the area of the left hind cannon bone. The wound was assessed and cleaned by a veterinarian approximately 24 hours later of the injury, it was determined that it was too swollen for sutures and prescribed a course of oral antibiotics for 10 days.

Conclusion: Thermal imaging revealed patterns in the thermal profile, similar to those reported by Higashima et al. (2014) and Machado et al. (2024), which correlated with clinical improvement and helped observe changes in inflammation and tissue regeneration.
