Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the Equine Carpus

Although it is possible to acquire magnetic resonance images of the equine carpus, there is very limited published description of such images. This paper describes the anatomy of the equine carpus on magnetic resonance images, based on comparison between magnetic resonance images and frozen cadaver sections. The range of abnormalities seen in 42 carpi from horses with and without a history of carpal lameness is summarized.
