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

CONTENT DESCRIPTION

This introductory module will take you through the relevant fundamentals of Computed Tomography (CT) in an accessible and practical way, as well as equipping you with knowledge on each of the different systems available. 

Our expert speakers will guide you through the origins and physics behind CT, common artefacts, and how CT machines are composed and operated. You’ll also learn how to optimise image quality, the role of filtering and windowing, and the use of contrast with real-life case examples. 

To round off the session, the different equine CT systems will be introduced, with a discussion on their advantages and limitations in clinical practice.
