A full day of hands-on practical lameness examination, diagnostic anaesthesia and radiography with real patients. Participants will get hands on experience in taking radiographs for orthopaedic lameness assessment and for radiographic screening. The practicalities and safety aspects of equine radiography will be covered. Tips and techniques to obtain the best quality radiographs of feet, fetlocks, carpi, hocks, stifles, upper fore limbs, neck and back (for dorsal spinous processes) will be discussed and practiced. Assessment and interpretation of radiographs will be covered.
The course would be ideal for recently graduated veterinarians and interns wanting to improve their lameness and radiography skills. Participants will be encouraged to bring along or submit beforehand any radiography cases they want to discuss.
