Part of the Equine Computed Tomography (CT) Image Interpretation & Clinical Applications Online Lecture Series

CONTENT DESCRIPTION

In this module, we will cover the applications of CT for assessment of tarsal pathology, including both bone and soft tissue. 

We will start with a lecture providing review of the CT anatomy of the tarsus and present the most common lesions, including developmental, degenerative and traumatic osseous injuries, as well as some examples of soft tissue injuries, including sepsis. 

 The second part will be a case-based discussion, including history, clinical information, selection of diagnostic imaging, management/treatment and follow-up if available.

Andy qualified from the University of Liverpool, UK in 2004. He initially spent three months working for the Society for the Protection of Animals Abroad, a charity caring for working equids, in Morocco. He then spent two years working for a mixed practice doing predominantly farm and equine work. In July 2006 he undertook an eighteen month internship at the Liphook Equine Hospital after which he spent a further six months working as a first opinion equine ambulatory vet for the same practice. In July 2008 he started a residency in equine surgery at the Royal Veterinary College and went on to join the surgical team at the College where he currently works. He became a Diplomate of the European College of Veterinary Surgeons in February 2012. Andy has published several articles in peer reviewed publications and presented at various national and international meetings. His research interests include digital flexor tendon sheath pathology, mesenchymal stem cell application in superficial digital flexor tendonitis and the role of back pain in poor performance.
