SUMMARY:The application of advanced imaging techniques for horses - Sarah

DESCRIPTION:The options available to the equine veterinary surgeon for adv
 ance imaging are now many and varied.  Traditional modalities\, such as ra
 diography and ultrasonography\, still remain the work horses of equine pra
 ctice\, however more advanced technologies such as computed tomography and
  magnetic resonance imaging have filtered down to equine practice over the
  last decade and are allowing us to push the boundaries of our diagnostic 
 capabilities even further. The availability of imaging facilities and the 
 expectations of our clients is perhaps exceeding the growth in our knowled
 ge of what all this extra information means to the individual animal\, and
  there is a valid and interesting question here as to what we are calling 
 'progress'.  We are duty bound to our clients and their insurers to contin
 ue to use established and emerging technologies wisely\, refer promptly wh
 ere necessary and employ only those modalities most likely to yield releva
 nt information.  The challenge now will be in deciding where in the proces
 s of investigation we decide to use these techniques\, and how we  select 
 cases most appropriately for the each modality.
