Advanced imaging

Based on the clinical examination, we select the most suitable imaging techniques to confirm the suspected diagnosis and map further details.

Imaging techniques

CT-scan
A CT scan provides a detailed, three-dimensional view of the horse’s bones and soft tissues. This advanced technique is particularly suited for examining complex regions such as the neck, head, and limbs (including shoulder and pelvis). CT helps us detect fractures, bone abnormalities, joint problems, and cartilage or tendon injuries that may go unnoticed with conventional techniques.

MRI is an advanced three-dimensional examination of bones and soft tissues, including ligaments, tendons, and joints. With standing MRI, the horse’s lower limbs can be imaged from hoof to carpus or hock. This makes it especially suitable for the early detection of subtle injuries that remain invisible with other techniques.

Interpreting radiographic, ultrasonographic, and other diagnostic images requires specialist knowledge and experience. At Via Nova, a board-certified specialist reviews your imaging for a reliable analysis.

For a second opinion, you are also welcome to consult us. Our specialist carefully assesses your images and medical records and provides clear and expert advice.
