“It has helped me be a better diagnostician by finding not only the areas of pain that are obvious,
but also the areas that are referred pain or secondary.”

Presentation: Asymmetrical Hyperthermia Over the Dorsal Epaxial Muscles
Interpretation: This 9-year old Pitbull had bilateral cranial cruciate ligament tears. The area of asymmetrical hyperthermia over the dorsal expaxial muscles defines an area of compensatory inflammation in those muscles.

Presentation: Focal Hyperthermia Ventral Neck
Interpretation: This young adult domestic shorthair has a focal area of hyperthermia on the ventral aspect of the neck. A thyroid profile confirmed hyperthyroidism.

Presentation: Asymmetrical Hypothermic Dermatome Pattern
Interpretation: This ~3-5 year old American Bulldog/Pitbull Terrier has a focal area of hypothermia over the right carpus. This dermatome is innervated by the lateral branch of the superficial radial nerve which originates from the posterior cervical spinal segments. The image indicates the need for an in-depth neurological examination and further diagnostic imaging of the cervical spine.

Presentation: Focal Hypothermia Lateral Thorax
Interpretation: This 6-year old Greyhound has a discrete focal area of hypothermia over the right lateral thorax that corresponds to a benign skin mass. Benign masses often have reduced vascularity and are hypothermic. Malignant masses often have increased vascularity and are hyperthermic.

Presentation: Orthostatic Stance Analysis
Interpretation: This image of thermal paw-prints of a canine patient shows significantly higher thermal intensity of the fore paw prints with higher intensity on the left side giving a qualitative evaluation of weight bearing. The image suggests off loading of the rear legs and right side.

Presentation: Reduced Hyperthermia after Photobiomodulation Therapy
Interpretation: This first image of the back of a geriatric Boxer show hyperthermia over the dorsal thorax associated with compensation secondary to forelimb lameness. A similar image after three weeks of photobiomodulation therapy shows response to therapy with reduced hyperthermia and inflammation.
