CONTENT DESCRIPTION

 

A world-renowned, multidisciplinary panel of equine radiologists and dental specialists will join to discuss the merits, benefits and limitations of the two most commonly utilised imaging modalities for dental disease in horses; x-ray and computed tomography (CT). We will take a whistle-stop tour though the techniques and options available for imaging teeth with CT, assess the evidence for and against the use of radiography and consider how we can maximise the use of this modality, using cases to illustrate some common conundrums which the panel have experienced. The panel will discuss the interpretation paradigm: how do we interpret a large amount of information with many abnormal findings, within the context of the clinical case standing in front of us.

Dr. Barrett is an associate professor of equine diagnostic imaging Colorado State University. Dr. Barrett's primary research and clinical interests are equine musculoskeletal imaging and comparative imaging, and she works closely with the equine surgery and sports medicine services. She is a founding partner of Inside information Radiology, a dedicated equine teleradiology service. She routinely speaks at equine veterinary meetings and is regularly involved in continuing education courses, including courses that draw an international audience. Dr. Barrett is dedicated to the advancement of the specialty of equine diagnostic imaging and is currently the president of an AVMA newly recognized subspecialty – ACVR-Equine Diagnostic Imaging. Outside of work, she enjoys biking, skiing, riding horses, and spending time with her family.
