Abstract

ABSTRACT:Computed tomography (CT) is a form of ‘cross-sectional’ imaging. Techniques for a diverse range of equine orthopaedic and medical conditions, of both the head and distal limbs of adult horses and thorax and abdomen of foals, have been described over the last decade. Recently, a few referral centres have installed a new system capable of scanning the head under standing sedation. A CT scan enables precise evaluation of the teeth and their relationships to structures around them. As more CT scanners become available, these exquisite images may well become the gold standard of care in a number of equine diseases.
