Computed tomography of the tarsus should be considered when radiography and ultrasonography are inconclusive, or for further evaluation of tarsal fractures.

Further studies, including comparisons with surgical and/or post mortem findings, are required to determine the sensitivity and specificity of CT and radiography in the diagnosis and characterisation of equine distal limb fractures.

Lesions of nonseptic axial osteitis of a PSB can be identified using a combination of radiography and ultrasonography. Computed tomography provides additional information regarding the extent of the pathology.

CECT is an effective adjunct to the more commonly used diagnostic techniques in equine foot pain.

Musculoskeletal injuries account for the majority of injuries encountered in athletic horses and are the main cause of wastage in the equine industry.
