Just like people, pets can benefit greatly from early detection of illness and injury. Digital thermal imaging is an innovative way to identify and address medical concerns in companion animals. Best of all, it’s non-invasive, so it’s completely painless for your pet! Neshoba County Animal Hospital is pleased to offer WellVu, one of the most advanced and effective digital thermal imaging tools on the market.
What is Digital Thermal Imaging
Digital thermal imaging leverages the power of infrared scanning to detect subtle changes in body temperature, which could indicate the presence of pain, inflammation, circulation problems, and other health concerns. Taking a digital image is as quick and easy as snapping a picture. Once captured, the doctor can use the finding to evaluate, diagnose, monitor, and treat illnesses and injuries in companion animals.
