Overview

Prospective clinical study demonstrates dynamic imaging of the cervical vertebrae, suggesting improved diagnostic capabilities.

Key Points

  • The aim is to evaluate a new CT myelography protocol for assessing cervical spinal cord compression in horses during dynamic imaging.
  • Conducted a prospective clinical study measuring intervertebral angles in flexion, neutral, and extension.
  • Three blinded reviewers analyzed the images and agreement was assessed using statistical methods including ANOVA.
  • The dynamic CT myelography protocol was completed within 45 minutes.
  • No significant differences were found between CT and radiographic myelography measurements (p > 0.01).
  • All horses recovered without any adverse effects related to anaesthesia or contrast.
  • Intervertebral angles indicated motion but did not measure spinal cord compression directly.
