Sponsored by the Gerald Leigh Trust

This unique course, held on the 6th June 2019 at Rossdales Equine Hospital, was designed to create an opportunity for delegates to reflect on specific aspects of musculoskeletal imaging in detail. It was aimed at equine practitioners who have both experience and specific interests in diagnostic imaging for lameness in sports horses and/or racehorses. Our headline speakers are internationally recognised as leaders in this field and they were tasked with giving presentations which will go beyond techniques and image interpretation and drill into the role of diagnostic imaging in the management of the equine athlete. In order to fully explore each topic, the programme was planned with lots of time allocated to discussion.
