There is a growing interest in the use of computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging in equine orthopedic patients. It is well established that CT and MR imaging offer superior diagnostic information in a wide variety of musculoskeletal injuries in human beings and small animals. The highly detailed cross-sectional images obtained with these two modalities can often demonstrate pathologic changes undetected with other common imaging techniques. Based on their multiple applications in human beings and small animals, CT or MR imaging may prove to be the optimal diagnostic imaging technique for several types of musculoskeletal disorders of horses.
在马的骨科疾病患者中，计算机断层扫描（CT）和磁共振成像（MR）的应用越来越受到关注。众所周知，CT和MR成像在人类和小动物的各种肌肉骨骼损伤中能提供更优质的诊断信息。通过这两种检查方式获得的高度详细的横断面图像，常常能够显示出其他常用成像技术无法检测到的病理变化。基于它们在人类和小动物中的多种应用，CT或MR成像可能被证明是诊断马的几种肌肉骨骼疾病的最佳成像技术。
