Abstract

Radiography and/or ultrasonography are the first imaging modalities for diagnosing orthopedic pathology in equine patients. However, in some cases, cross-sectional imaging is necessary to reach a more accurate diagnosis. Six cases were retrospectively selected from the imaging database of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine (Ghent University) to illustrate the benefits of computed tomography (CT) in orthopedic patients. In two cases, CT demonstrated osteomyelitis lesions in two young foals, which could not be detected with radiography and ultrasonography. In three cases, CT was performed for surgical planning of fracture repair, and in one case CT demonstrated multiple lesions at the soft tissues and ligamentous insertions in the stifle. In all cases, CT revealed additional findings, which were important for the treatment and prognosis of the patient.
计算机断层成像在马骨科患者的诊断、预后和治疗计划中的益处
x线摄影和/或超声检查是诊断马患者骨科病理的首选成像方式。然而,在某些情况下,横断成像是必要的,以达到更准确的诊断。回顾性地从根特大学兽医学院的影像数据库中选择了6例病例,以说明计算机断层扫描(CT)在骨科患者中的益处。在两个病例中,CT显示两个小马驹的骨髓炎病变,这是x线摄影和超声检查无法检测到的。其中3例通过CT进行骨折修复手术计划,1例CT显示膝关节软组织和韧带插入处多发病变。在所有病例中,CT显示了额外的发现,这对患者的治疗和预后很重要。

期刊介绍: The Vlaams Diergeneeskundig Tijdschrift (ISSN 0303-9021) is a scientific journal that is published bimonthly (six issues per year). It presents mainly clinical topics and addresses itself to two very different readerships: the local Dutch speaking veterinarians in Belgium and the Netherlands, and the international veterinary and biomedical research community. Each issue contains scientific papers either in English, or in Dutch with an English abstract.
