ZusammenfassungDie Computertomographie (CT) hat sich in den letzten Jahrzehnten auch in der Pferdemedizin zu einem wichtigen diagnostischen Hilfsmittel entwickelt. Durch ihre hohe Kontrastauflösung liefert sie vor allem im Bereich des Knochens exzellente Bilder, aber auch Weichteile lassen sich immer besser darstellen. Auf dem Gebiet der Orthopädie wird die CT geschätzt, da sie überlagerungsfreie Schnittbilder und rekonstruierte dreidimensionale Aufnahmen erstellt, die die Bewertung von Lokalisation, Ausmaß und Charakter einer Erkrankung verbessern. In der folgenden Arbeit werden die wichtigsten Veröffentlichungen zur Computertomographie im Bereich des Bewegungsapparates des Pferdes aus den vergangenen 30 Jahren zusammengetragen.Schlüsselwörter: Computertomographie, Orthopädie, Lahmheit, Diagnostik, Pferd Computed tomographic examination of the locomotor apparatus of horses -a reviewTodays computed tomography (CT) is a well established diagnostic tool in equine medicine. Due to todays high resolution, detailed images can be obtained especially of bony structures, and the quality of soft tissue images is steadily increasing. The advantages of computed tomography for the diagnosis of orthopedic patients lie in the production of non-overlapping image slices and the possibility of threedimensional reconstruction. These improve the assessment of location, dimension and character of the disease process. In this paper we have compiled the major puplications concerning computed tomography of the equine locomotor apparatus from the past 30 years.

Radiography is the most commonly applied imaging modality in equine practice and forms an essential part of the diagnostic work-up of lame horses. Radiographic signs of musculoskeletal pathology are frequently localized at sites of soft tissue attachment, which are often not clearly visible on radiographs. Different lesions carry different prognoses and require a variety of treatments, and a good knowledge of the position of the synovial structures in the distal limb of the horse is essential for practitioners in the interpretation of radiographs. This study describes a new technique for creating three-dimensional (3D) models of the synovial structures and superimposing them onto radiographs for the purpose of teaching radiographic anatomy. A set of standard radiographs was acquired of the metacarpophalangeal and the distal interphalangeal joints of a fresh cadaver leg while the leg was positioned in a material-testing machine to mimic the weight-bearing horse. Computed tomography of the same regions was performed after injection of negative contrast medium into the joints. 3D reconstructions of the joints were created using grayscale thresholding and polynomial surface meshing in Mimics. The resulting 3D reconstructions were superimposed on top of the radiographs using Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended, thus allowing the visualization of the joint anatomy in relation to the bone on all projections. The main advantage of this technique is that it allows synovial structures to be visualized on radiographs where they are normally indistinct, which will serve as a teaching aid for anatomy.
