π΄ A new study (Oliveira et al. 2024) has developed a predictive formula for determining the clinical significance of sand accumulation in horses.
π΄ This study is the first to demonstrate a weight-associated cutoff for determining clinical significance of sand observed on abdominal radiographs of horses.
π΄ Given that sand can be an incidental finding, this formula involving simple measurements from abdominal X-rays can help in diagnosing and managing clinically significant sand accumulation.
