Enabling imaging of both soft tissues and bone in a way that no other diagnostic procedure can, MRI leads to a more accurate diagnosis, treatment plan and outcome for the patient\u2019s faster return to work. Sara understands the importance of this for the <a href=\"https:\/\/hallmarq.net\/us\/for-horse-owners\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">horse owner<\/a> saying:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><em>\u201cIt is these benefits that motivate many owners to have an MRI performed on their horse. In 2021 alone, Wisconsin Equine performed 120 MRI scans on the standing, sedated horse \u2013 over twice as many as in previous years and demand keeps growing.\u201d<\/em><\/p><cite>Sara Clark, CVT, Lead MRI Technician at Wiscosin Equine Clinic<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How does Equine MRI work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) uses radiofrequency waves to create the image of a selected area using a radiofrequency coil which is fitted around the horse\u2019s foot or leg and is not harmful to either horse or handler. Wisconsin Equine uses the Hallmarq <a href=\"https:\/\/hallmarq.net\/us\/products-services\/standing-equine-mri\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Standing Equine MRI<\/a> machine which has a 1.5T low field magnet and is less strong and less noisy than human MRI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the low field magnet, the patient stands for the entire procedure while using only minimal sedation so reducing any risks that might be associated with general anesthesia. MRI provides detailed images of soft tissues and bone which can aid the equine veterinarian in finding a definitive cause for the horse\u2019s lameness, determining the severity of the injury, and deciding how to appropriately treat and rehabilitate the patient.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Preparing the Patient<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Patient care is at the forefront of every case that the practice sees. In most cases, the horse either has an acute lameness, meaning sudden onset, or a long-term lameness that isn\u2019t responding to therapy. Usually, other diagnostics, such as nerve blocks, x-rays, ultrasound, and bone scans, have been performed prior to MRI being considered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sara and her colleagues are used to the variety of questions that a horse owner will ask prior to performing an MRI. If the patient is being referred, the <a href=\"https:\/\/hallmarq.net\/us\/for-equine-vets\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">referring veterinarian<\/a> will also, typically, have questions and seek to gain reassurance for their client.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prior to the MRI scan, a brief lameness examination is performed. This ensures that any historic lameness remains unchanged and confirms the area to be imaged. Preparing the patient for MRI includes removing the shoes and performing radiographs to ensure any metal fragments are removed from the hoof before imaging. Leaving metal pieces within the hoof dramatically affects the diagnostic value of the MRI. An intravenous catheter is then placed to facilitate sedation protocols and the patient gets a quick break before the procedure starts.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Performing a Standing Equine MRI Scan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Prior to performing the MRI, Sara sets the magnet to its proper position for the elected scanning area and says:&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><em>\u201cWith the Hallmarq magnet, we have the ability to scan a large area of the leg. We can scan as low as the foot and has high as the knees and\/or hocks. Hocks? Yes, hocks!\u201d<\/em><\/p><cite>Sara Clark, CVT, Lead MRI Technician, Wisconsin Equine Clinic <\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>With the ability to scan front or hind limbs, the horse\u2019s natural sway means an increased likelihood of motion in images taken higher up the leg. This is where Hallmarq\u2019s award-winning <a href=\"https:\/\/hallmarq.net\/us\/2016\/03\/07\/horsing-around-with-some-innovative-physics\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">motion correction software<\/a> comes into play; designed to minimize artifact in the standing, sedated horse, the technology enables faster scan times. As Sara points out: \u201cunlike human medicine, we cannot ask patients to stand still or hold their breath!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Seen from Every Angle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Each area, such as feet, pasterns, fetlocks, etc., has a set number of scans and each scan has a different filter that highlights certain parts of the horse\u2019s anatomy. For example, Figure 1 shows a STIR image that highlights fluid and suppresses bone &#8211; ideal to see inflammation within the bones, soft tissues, or joint spaces. In comparison, the T1 image in Figure 2 shows a more basic image of the horse\u2019s anatomy.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:100%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hallmarq.net\/app\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Wisconsin-STIR-and-T1-images--1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8052\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\"\/><figcaption>        Fig 1 (left) shows a STIR image and Fig 2 (right) shows a T1 image                                                                                                                                                                                           <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Using these filters, images of multiple different angles of the selected area are taken. This allows for the injury to be seen more easily and for the veterinarians to make a more accurate diagnosis. Usually, the patient gets to listen to some great music during the procedure \u2013 Hallmarq has even created their own <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=-LTImtdhcyI&amp;list=PLcZ_7yCSaHbg2s0xUmh-VHDM3HwK67KV2&amp;index=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">playlist<\/a>!&nbsp; This helps reduce the horse\u2019s stress or reaction to any noise from the magnet and outside the MRI room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, the procedure can take 2-5 hours depending on patient compliance and the area being imaged. In addition, the opposite, or contralateral limb is also scanned, to use as a comparison.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Prognosis and Diagnosis<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the MRI is finished, the images are sent to a board-certified radiologist to evaluate. The report is usually finalized within 24-48 hours and the results are fed back to either the referring veterinarian or horse owner, with an agreed treatment plan put into place. Depending on the injury, it is sometimes recommended to re-scan in 4-6 months to monitor the progression of healing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>None of this expertise happens overnight of course. Training to be an MRI Technician takes hours of application and dedication. Sara confirms that she received extensive onsite training from previous MRI technicians in addition to learning from Wisconsin Equine\u2019s practice owner Dr Langer, and specialists from Hallmarq Veterinary Imaging. After much training and lots of practice, she became a Hallmarq Certified Operator and was finally ready to hit the ground running. She adds:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><em>\u201cLearning how to perform an MRI has been one of the greatest achievements of my career.
