While many equine diagnostic imaging procedures can be done in field, some procedures require specialized facilities, equipment or expertise which are generally only available in referral or specialty practices. As client awareness of the availability and advantages of these diagnostic procedures increases, veterinarians are faced with the increasing opportunity to utilize these services to provide optimal patient care. A working knowledge of the value and limitations of these methods is required to help guide veterinarians and clients in the selection of additional, and sometimes costly, diagnostic tests.
虽然许多马的诊断成像程序可以在野外进行，但有些程序需要专门的设施、设备或专业知识，而这些通常只有转诊或专科诊所才有。随着客户对这些诊断程序的可用性和优势的认识不断提高，兽医面临着越来越多的机会利用这些服务来提供最佳的患者护理。需要对这些方法的价值和局限性有实际的了解，以帮助指导兽医和客户选择额外的、有时甚至昂贵的诊断测试。
