摘要
The recent adaptation of human computed tomography (CT) machines to enable scanning of the equine head via standing sedation has revolutionised our ability to acquire images of this complex anatomical region. There are a small number of CT systems installed worldwide and it is to be expected that this will increase in the next few years; however, currently, there is no publication that describes the technical set-up required to permit CT scanning of the equine head. This paper describes the technical set-up, technique and exposures necessary to accomplish CT scanning of the horse under standing sedation to diagnose disorders of the equine head.
