Dental and sinus disorders are relatively common and of major clinical importance in equine medicine. Advanced diagnostic imaging has become an integral part of equine veterinary medicine. Advanced imaging has progressed the understanding, diagnosis, and treatment of dental- and sinus-related diseases. As a clinician, it is important to realize the value of advanced diagnostic imaging. Although computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging are both significantly more expensive compared with other diagnostic tools, the financial cost of inaccurate diagnosis and treatment can often result in higher overall costs.
牙齿和鼻窦疾病在马医学中相对常见且具有重要的临床意义。先进的诊断成像已成为马兽医医学不可或缺的一部分。先进成像技术推动了对牙齿和鼻窦相关疾病的认识、诊断及治疗。作为临床医生，认识到先进诊断成像的价值很重要。尽管计算机断层扫描和磁共振成像与其他诊断工具相比成本都显著更高，但不准确诊断和治疗的经济成本往往会导致更高的总体费用。
