• Resumen

  • Advanced imaging is becoming more important and feasible for use in the diagnosis of equine ocular disease.

    Ultrasound imaging of the eye and periocular structures is the most common modality used and is indicated whenever there are cloudy ocular structures preventing direct examination of ocular structures.

    Optical coherence tomography and in vivo confocal microscopy are very promising techniques, especially for detailed examination of the cornea.

    Computed tomography with or without use of MRI are the most useful imaging modalities to thoroughly evaluate the equine orbit and periorbital structures.
