Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
MRI allows the detailed examination of the different structures of the lower limb, and is particularly useful in the evaluation of diseases of the foot. Our investigations have and continue to provide important and new information about many diseases of the foot, including navicular disease and soft tissue injuries e.g. deep digital flexor tears. The procedure can also provide valuable information about more proximal areas of the limbs, such as the fetlock, knee, hock and suspensory ligament. The Chiltern Equine Clinic utilises the MRI services at the Newmarket Equine Hospital to provide this imaging technique for our patients. www.newmarketequinehospital.com
