How does it work?Hemoperfusion is an extracorporeal blood purification technique that involves circulating a patient's blood through an adsorption column, where targeted toxins and harmful substances are selectively removed from the bloodstream. A dual-lumen dialysis catheter is placed in a central vein, allowing blood to be withdrawn, purified through the column, and then returned to the patient. The adsorption process occurs as blood passes through the column, with toxins adhering to the adsorbent material based on their molecular properties. This method provides a rapid and efficient means of toxin removal, often leading to improved patient outcomes in cases of severe intoxication or poisoning. Hemoperfusion is selective in what it removes from the blood, making it a valuable tool for treating various conditions where traditional therapies may be ineffective. When performed by trained veterinary professionals and closely monitored, hemoperfusion is generally considered safe and can significantly contribute to the patient's recovery.

How does it work?Thermal imaging works by capturing and visualizing the infrared radiation emitted by patients. Infrared Detection: Thermal cameras used in veterinary thermal imaging are equipped with specialized sensors called microbolometers. These sensors can detect infrared radiation, which is emitted by all objects with a temperature above absolute zero (-273.15 degrees Celsius or -459.67 degrees Fahrenheit). Image Formation: The thermal camera collects the infrared radiation emitted by the animal's body or surrounding environment. The microbolometer sensor measures the intensity of the radiation emitted by different points on the animal's surface. Temperature Mapping: The collected radiation data is processed by sophisticated software algorithms that assign colors or grayscale values to represent different temperature levels. Hotter areas appear as brighter colors (such as red or white), while cooler areas appear as darker colors (such as blue or black). Image Display: The processed thermal data is then displayed on a screen, forming a thermal image or thermogram. The image represents the temperature distribution across the animal's body or the specific area being examined. Interpretation: Trained professionals, such as veterinarians or thermography experts, analyze the thermal image to identify temperature variations and patterns. They look for areas of abnormal heat or cold that may indicate potential health issues or abnormalities.
