Thank you, Dr. Travis Henry at Midwest Veterinary Dental Services, for your expertise in helping us compile this information. 😁

➡️ Computed tomography (CT) imaging stands at the forefront of equine dentistry, offering unparalleled diagnostic precision and treatment efficacy.

➡️ By providing detailed, three-dimensional views of teeth and skull structures, CT not only enhances clinicians' ability to diagnose dental diseases and skull conditions with accuracy but also revolutionizes treatment planning.

➡️ With advancements in technology, including faster scan times and enhanced imaging capabilities, CT continues to redefine standards in equine dental care, ensuring optimal outcomes for our patients.

🌟 Featured First Place Winner: Soft Tissue Category
👏 Dr. Nicolas Ernst & Shannon Vesledahl
📍 University of Mn Leatherdale Equine Center
💡 Case Highlight:
Patient: 5-year-old Quarter Horse mare
History: Presented with bilateral forelimb lameness; previous diagnoses include navicular syndrome and left front navicular bone cyst.
Diagnosis: Bilateral podotrochlear apparatus abnormalities, including moderate to marked navicular bone changes, deep digital flexor tendinopathy with dorsal border tears near the navicular bursa, and mild bilateral deep digital flexor and impar enthesopathy.

🏅 Why It Stood Out: Exceptional visualization of deep digital flexor tendon lesions using soft tissue filter images, providing critical diagnostic insights beyond traditional imaging.
🏆 Vet CT Judging Comments: Higher marks were awarded to cases where soft tissue filter images added diagnostic value beyond bone filter and ancillary imaging.
👏 Congratulations to Dr. Ernst and Shannon Vesledahl!

Diagnosis: Severe degenerative injury with joint space collapse at C1-C2, accompanied by extensive bone abnormalities, signaling permanent structural damage to the joint.
🏅 Why It Stood Out: Exceptional image quality, innovative case selection, and critical diagnostic insights contributing significantly to case management and clinical decision-making.

🐂 Impressive Case Alert! 🏆
When the University of Wisconsin scanned an 11-month-old Holstein bull with lameness, we were impressed to say the least! Dr. Brenda Righter’s expertise earned her 1st Place in the Limb Category with the overall highest score of 31 points.

📋 Case Highlights:
-Presentation: 4/5 lame RF limb, fetlock effusion, mild tenderness
-Diagnostics: Standing CT revealed osteochondritis dissecans, cystic and lytic lesions, and subchondral defects
-Outcome: Arthroscopic debridement led to a smooth recovery. Now, he’s thriving at home!

A huge congrats to Dr. Righter for this incredible case! 👏
