Abstract

This study was carried out to assess the usefulness of thermography for diagnosis and healing process of musculoskeletal disorder in horses. Horses with experimentally induced infectious arthritis were treated with bee venom or antibiotics for 5 weeks from 24 hours after inoculation of Staphylococcus aureus, the effectiveness of the 2 therapeutic drugs treatment was similar to each other. Thermographic evaluation was similar to any other tests, because the thermal pattern tend to return to normal with declining similar to those of clinical signs, laboratory experiments and healing of the lesion. This ability to assess inflammatory change noninvasively make thermography an ideal imaging tool to aid in the diagnosis of certain lameness condition or musculoskeletal disease in horses. These results suggested that thermographic evaluation in horses with musculoskeletal disorders were useful for diagnosis and helpful for monitoring of healing process.

말의 근골격계 질환의 진단과 치유 경과 평가를 위한 체열촬영술의 유용성을 검토코자 실험적으로 유발한 감염성 관절염의 치료 과정을 조사하였다. 실험적으로 완관절에 감염성 관절염을 유발하여 항생제와 봉독으로 처치한 후, 치료 과정별로 임상검사, 실험실 검사, 방사선 검사와 병행하여 실시한 체열촬영술은 전반적으로 모든 진단 결과와 유사하게 나타났으며, 진단 시 조직에 대한 비접촉성, 비침습성 및 무통성 특성과 함께 치유경과를 시각화, 객관화하므로 효과적인 것으로 판단되었다. 따라서 말의 근골격계 질환의 체열학적 평가는 기존의 검사나 진단 영상 장치와 더불어 말의 근골격계 질환의 진단 및 치유경과 평가에 있어서 유용할 것으로 사료된다.
