Distinguished wet lab instructors The Ultrasound Imaging Wet Lab will provide an in-depth overview of imaging in the following anatomical areas: Hind Leg High Suspensory, Foot, Fetlock/ Distal Metacarpus, Thorax and Abdomen. Station 1: hind leg high suspensory
aric adams DVM, DACVS
Proximal suspensory injuries are one of the most common causes of hindlimb lameness in horses. Ultrasonographic examination of the suspensory ligament has long been considered a standard modality used in the diagnosis of this injury. Unfortunately, accurate ultrasonographic identification of lesions in the proximal suspensory ligament is far from straightforward. In this wet lab, we will identify unique characteristics of the proximal suspensory ligament that contribute to the complexity of examining this anatomic region. We will then learn how to use specific techniques that will simplify both performing and interpreting ultrasonographic examination of the proximal suspensory ligament.
Station 2: foot
RICHARD D. MITCHELL DVM, MRCVS, DACVSMR
Ultrasound examination of foot can contribute greatly to diagnosis of lameness. The distal ligamentous and tendinous structures of the pastern, podotrochlear apparatus, and distal interphalangeal joint may be imaged. Palmar pastern, dorsal pastern and solar or “transcunean� views will be demonstrated.
Station 3: fetlock/distal Metacarpus
Taralyn McCarrel DVM, DACVS-LA
Ultrasound has long been recognized for its utility for evaluation of soft tissue structures of the distal limb. However, more recently the value of ultrasound for evaluation of the joint surface and boney margins has been recognized. This lab will focus on approach to ultrasound of the fetlock joint itself, as well as the digital flexor tendon sheath, and the associated tendon and ligament structures. The normal appearance will be emphasized with examples of lesions presented in the lab notes.
Station 4: thorax The lab will provide participants with a working knowledge of thoracic ultrasound use in horses. An initial presentation of normal and abnormal cases will be followed by hands on ultrasound exams. Practical evaluation and integration into clinical practice will be stressed. CAROL CLARK DVM, DACVIM
Station 5: abdomen A review of the FLASH abdominal ultrasound technique for evaluation of colic, in addition to discussion about a complete abdominal exam of the kidneys, spleen, liver, and GI tract will be performed in this section. Focus will be on the attendee performing the exams. AMANDA M. HOUSE DVM, DACVIM

The conference features acclaimed equine medicine experts who will be speaking on foot lameness in the Sport Horse, upper airway disease, equine skin tumors, colic, foal musculoskeletal abnormalities respiratory disease, imaging, and reproduction, among the topics to be presented. An in-depth ultrasound imaging wet lab will be held on Friday, January 22, at the Equine Medical Center of Ocala, and will focus on the hind leg high suspensory, foot, fetlock/distal metacarpus, thorax and abdomen, and will be instructed by Drs.
