During this four week online course the essentials of computed tomographic (CT) examination of horses will be covered. There will be a practical review of CT technology as well as discussion of standard protocols for acquiring CT-images of the head, neck and limbs. Proficiency in image viewing and manipulation using DICOM viewing software, and a logical approach to CT image interpretation will be provided. For each area, the cross sectional anatomy and normal variations will be shown.
CT cases covering the most common, but also not so common, lesions will be presented for individual study, which will enhance the participants’ skill in examining, detecting and describing CT lesions. Improvement in CT interpretation will be assessed by comparison of participant answers to model reports including illustrated images. Online group discussions will enable participants to share their opinions and experiences. Computed tomographic findings will be discussed in relation to their clinical significance with respect to the medical evidence available. The online format will enable the participants to participate in their own time to accommodate the variable working hours of equine practice. Useful CPD for veterinarians preparing for the RCVS CertAVP modules in large animal diagnostic imaging.
