several authors have documented variations in local temperature in both horses and dogs presenting acute intervertebral disc extrusion (IVDE) along the entire spinal column. However, none have demonstrated distinct temperature differences between healthy animals and those with IVDE. A retrospective study was conducted to assess the efficacy of thermography at evaluating local temperature and thermal patterns in healthy dogs as well in those with IVDE across the T11-L3 area.
the study included 20 healthy dogs and 32 dogs with IVDE. For both groups of dogs, the thoracolumbar region was trimmed and, subsequently, scanned using the Flir E50 thermography device. The Flir Tool software was used to analyze three designated areas (Bx1, Bx2, Bx3) within the thoracolumbar region by comparing the average temperature of the minimum, maximum, and mean temperature recordings between the two groups.
the thermal pattern and the local temperature of the thoracolumbar area present differences between healthy dogs and those with IVDE.
we recommend thermographic scanning of the thoracolumbar area to find differences in local temperature between healthy dogs and those with intervertebral disc extrusion. Further investigations are required to differentiate between disc extrusion that exhibits lateralization to the right or left.
几位作者记录了患有急性椎间盘突出（IVDE）的马和狗整个脊柱局部温度的变化。然而，没有人证明健康动物与患有IVDE的动物之间存在明显的温度差异。进行了一项回顾性研究，以评估热成像在评估健康犬以及T11-L3区域患有IVDE的犬的局部温度和热模式方面的功效。
该研究包括20只健康犬和32只患有IVDE的犬。对于两组犬，修剪胸腰段区域，随后使用Flir E50热成像设备进行扫描。使用Flir Tool软件通过比较两组之间的最低温度记录、最高温度记录和平均温度记录的平均温度，分析胸腰段区域内三个指定区域（Bx1、Bx2、Bx3）。
健康犬与患有IVDE的犬的胸腰段区域的热模式和局部温度存在差异。
我们建议对胸腰段区域进行热成像扫描，以发现健康犬与椎间盘突出犬之间的局部温度差异。需要进一步研究以区分向右或向左侧方突出的椎间盘突出。
