  • Title: The basics of musculoskeletal magnetic resonance imaging: terminology, imaging sequences, image planes, and descriptions of basic pathologic change.
    Author: Winter MD.
    Journal: Vet Clin North Am Equine Pract; 2012 Dec; 28(3):599-616. PubMed ID: 23177134.
    Abstract:
    The usefulness of magnetic resonance (MR) imaging in the diagnosis of equine lameness is unquestionable. As with most imaging modalities, advances in technology happen quickly, and the information that can be obtained can seem limitless. An understanding of MR sequences, expected signal intensity of normal tissues, and the role of multiplanar imaging is the foundation for interpreting MR images. The rapid development of new techniques and sequences and the potential for biochemical changes to be indirectly assessed using MR spectroscopy offer possibilities for the continued development of this modality and ensure its continued application in the diagnosis of equine lameness.
