Detection of bruising in living animal victims of abuse can be challenging due to animal temperament and anatomy. Visual assessment, combined with physical and serum biochemical evaluation, can fail to detect injuries. However, development and validation of a noninvasive, antemortem method for detecting bruising in domestic species could have important medicolegal implications. Key clinical message: Thermal imaging utilizing infrared wavelengths can assist in detection of trauma in cases of animal abuse where no visible injuries are apparent, aiding in providing appropriate medical treatment and guidance for the legal system.
由于动物的性情和解剖结构,检测受虐待活体动物受害者的瘀伤具有挑战性。视觉评估,结合身体和血清生化评估,可能无法检测到损伤。但是,开发和验证一种非侵入性的、生前检测 domestic species 瘀伤的方法可能具有重要的医学法律意义。
利用红外波长的热成像可以帮助检测虐待动物案件中肉眼看不见的创伤,有助于为法律系统提供适当的医疗和指导。
