PROGRAMMEThis is a one day course including both lectures and practical case-based image evaluation. It is the first part of a series of courses which will explore the application of diagnostic imaging in the lameness diagnosis workup, with emphasis on magnetic resonance imaging, in sport horses.

The course is suitable for vets who are interested in lameness diagnosis, refer horses for advanced imaging and wish to have a better understanding of the interpretation, and value of the procedures. There is no requirement for a detailed previous knowledge of advanced imaging techniques.

The lectures will cover equine anatomy as relevant to clinical diagnostic imaging, the application of conventional and advanced imaging modalities to different cases, and an understanding of the principles and limitations of advanced imaging modalities. Case based lectures will highlight the practical use of diagnostic imaging in specific clinical scenarios. The emphasis, using case examples, will be on understanding of the benefits and limitations of conventional diagnostic imaging, how to choose the best advanced imaging modality, and how to make sense of the results.

Delegates will be divided into small groups during the practical sessions. Using case examples, delegates will be guided through images obtained using conventional and advanced modalities. Emphasis will be on enabling delegates to better interpret advanced imaging reports, and to discuss an MRI diagnosis with their clients with increased confidence.

• Apply anatomical knowledge to clinical and imaging interpretation.

• Assess conventional imaging and identify limitations

• Combine the values of conventional and advanced imaging modalities to the management of a clinical case

• Recognise and discuss significance of lesions within the fetlock region in the sport horse.
