AB  - This study was conducted to document Infrared Thermographic 
  (IRT) views of the anatomical regions on the forelimbs of 20 adult male British 
  horses and to analyze them for the use in veterinary medicine. The highest, 
  lowest and mean temperature values measured were displayed as tables and a schema. 
  IRT views were obtained out of the regions from the scapular region throughout 
  the distal phalangeal region using the camera adjusted to 0.99 emission and 
  8-38°C temperature values. The maximum and minimum temperature values determined 
  on the forelimbs in this study were 33.7 and 13.6°C, respectively. The results 
  measured showed that the temperature in general decreased as descending distally. 
  Similarly, temperature values were higher on the medial and palmar aspects of 
  the regions as compared to those of the lateral and dorsal sides, respectively. 
  Statistically significant differences were determined bilaterally on the six 
  out of 16 regions. Generally, the values were significantly higher in the left 
  side. Temperature differences in symmetric anatomical regions did not exceed 
  0.8°C. These temperature values measured on the symmetric regions of the 
  left forelimbs in British horses in the study could be called normal or nonpathological 
  asymmetry. Overall, the results found in this study may be useful for further 
  researches on the related topics concerning the preparation of thermographic 
  mappings of various anatomical sites.
