Abstract
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is well recognised as a gold standard diagnostic imaging modality used in human and veterinary medicine worldwide. Within the veterinary field, the particular use of MRI varies between species, and in the horse, for many practical reasons, MRI is predominantly used to investigate lameness within the distal limb. This article serves to place the use of MRI in the horse into context for veterinary practitioners unfamiliar with the modality — with particular reference to MRI of the equine foot — as this region is by far the most common source of lameness in horses, and for this reason is the region most commonly imaged in MR systems.
