Diagnostics

DIGITAL RADIOGRAPHY

At Alabama Performance Horse, we understand the importance of accurate diagnostic tools when it comes to equine health. That's why we offer radiographs for our patients. Radiographs offer a noninvasive way to view the bones and joints within the horse's body, which can help us identify issues that may be causing pain, lameness, or other symptoms. With this information, we can create a treatment plan tailored to your horse's needs.

DIGITAL ULTRASOUND

Ultrasound is a crucial diagnostic tool in equine medicine that allows veterinarians to see detailed images of a horse's internal structures and tissues. Alabama Performance Horse offers ultrasound services to help diagnose and treat a wide range of conditions, including pregnancy diagnosis, tendon and ligament injuries, and soft tissue damage. Ultrasound is a safe, effective, and non-invasive procedure that provides valuable insights into your horse's health. Our skilled veterinarians use the latest technology to ensure accurate results and create the best treatment plan for your horse.

VIDEO ENDOSCOPY

At Alabama Performance Horse, we perform endoscopies to help diagnose and treat a variety of equine health issues. By inserting a small camera into the horse's body, we can examine the upper respiratory tract, gastrointestinal system, and other areas where issues may be present. This allows us to provide accurate diagnoses and develop effective treatment plans. Endoscopy is a non-invasive and safe procedure that can be performed quickly, with minimal discomfort to your horse.

THERMAL IMAGING

Non-invasive medical thermal imaging provides a physiological study of the entire patient. Anatomical areas that would benefit from further evaluation are easily identified. This is possible often before any clinical signs or structural changes exist. In addition to the primary areas of concern, the discovery of all secondary and compensatory areas are identified. Beneficial treatments can simultaneously be administered to all affected areas. This allows the equine patient a shorter recovery time and even the prevention of an injury.

A Digatherm® equine thermal imaging camera objectively monitors any pharmaceutical or modality-based therapeutic plan. The common question: “When can they return to work?” is answered by visualizing the progress of the case. Early return to work often results in reinjury. Monitoring with thermal imaging helps validate complete healing before return to work.

When clients see thermal images, they better understand their horse.
This understanding supports diagnostic and treatment recommendations. When combined with ultrasonography, radiography, or nuclear scintigraphy, thermal images shorten the path to definitive diagnoses.
