Comparisons of computed tomography, contrast‐enhanced computed tomography and standing low‐field magnetic resonance imaging in horses with lameness localised to the foot. Part 2: Lesion identification

Abstract

Multiple lesions are detected with CT, CECT and LFMRI but there is variability in lesion detection and classification. LFMRI centred only on the podotrochlear apparatus may fail to identify lesions of the pastern or soft tissue mineralisation. Computed tomography may fail to identify DDFT lesions distal to the proximal border of the distal sesamoid.
