Thermography is a complementary method of imaging diagnosis which is based on the infrared radiation that bodies emit and reflex; this radiation is received and quantified by the thermographic camera that turns them into digital images. This camera has a lot of colour palettes which allow us to understand the temperature changes. The application of this technique has been tested with two dog clinical cases, the 1st one was a dermatitis produced by deep pyoderma on face, neck and bones reliefs, all of these caused by leishmaniasis. The 2nd case came to the veterinary hospital presenting a mass located on the neck area. Thanks to thermography the injuries can be located and delimitated accurately. The potential of thermography for imaging diagnosis on canine species has been evaluated in this work.
