“…The major advantage of CT and MRI as compared with conventional radiographs is the lack of superimposition due to the ability to obtain images on sagittal, dorsal, and transverse planes directly or through multiplanar reconstructions. Endoscopic examination with a rigid or flexible endoscope is a useful diagnostic tool that permits direct evaluation of internal structures (Tucker and Farrell 2001;Arencibia et al 2000). Sinus endoscopy has an additional value for use as a therapeutic technique (formalin intralesional injection, sinus lavages, drainages, etc.).…”

Clinical and radiographic investigations of paranasal sinuses in horses are difficult due to the complex anatomy of these regions, the lack of patognomonic symptoms, and the low sensitivity of conventional diagnostic techniques. The aim of this study was to produce an anatomical atlas to support computed tomography (CT) and sinuscopy of the paranasal sinuses of the adult horse. Transverse, sagittal, and dorsal CT images were acquired, and sinuscopy with both rigid and flexible endoscopes was performed. The heads were frozen and sectioned using a band saw, with the cuts aligned as close as possible with the CT transverse slices. Each CT image was compared with its corresponding anatomical section and sinuscopy image to assist in the accurate identification of specific structures.

“…Besonders wichtig erscheint auch die Mitbeteiligung knöcherner oder knorpeliger Strukturen, über die in der Regel sowohl klinisch als auch endoskopisch nicht entschieden werden kann (Grees et al 2002). Aus diesem Grund hat sich die Magnetresonanztomographie auch in der Diagnostik raumfordernder Prozesse am Kopf der Pferdes einen Platz erobert (Matiasek et al 2006, Gerlach et al 2004, Tucker 2001.…”

“…Krankhafte Prozesse im Kopfbereich können detailliert untersucht, deren exakte Lokalisation und Ausdehnung bestimmt sowie ein optimaler Zugang für eine operative Therapie gefunden werden (Tucker und Farrell 2001, Ramirez und Tucker 2004. Die Magnetresonanztomographie ist zwar teurer, hat gegenüber der Computertomographie jedoch den Vorteil, dass Weichteilstrukturen besser darstellbar und interpretierbar sind und die Schnittbilder in beliebigen Ebenen angefertigt werden können.…”

Diagnosis and therapy of periorbital diseases in horses: Indication for computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance tomography (MRT)During the last years, not only computed tomography (CT) but also magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been established in equine medicine. Tomographic examinations in horses are accompanied with high costs and efforts, and they are not available in every case. Certain diseases of the equine head cannot be interpreted or treated without tomographic images. On the other hand, the excellent improvement of information by tomographies justifies the costs and efforts in certain cases. Indications for CT or MRI in periorbital diseases are particularly protrusions of the globe due to retrobulbar or retroorbital tumor growth. In fractures temporal of the globe and suspicion of an injury of the temporo-mandibular joint the preoperative knowledge of the CT or MRI images provides a tremendous advantage for surgery. In tumor diagnostic, information from MRI-images is superior to information from CT-images, and in periocular fractures, information from CT-images is superior to that from MRI-images. Basically, both techniques are particular suitable for verifying an indication for surgery as well as for evaluating the prognosis and for detailed planning of the optimal surgical approach. In some cases, the costs for surgeries with a poor or infaust prognosis can be avoided. In other cases, information from CT or MRI images is a vital condition for preserving the globe or even vision.
