Modern imaging techniques, such as computer tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance (MRI) are among the basic diagnostic methods for various afflictions in human medicine. Recently, these methods have become of great interest in veterinary medicine. Despite the high cost associated with the purchase of such diagnostic equipment, their presence is increasingly visible in veterinary clinics, and this is particularly true for computer tomography. Magnetic resonance is a more sensitive diagnostic method, although its purchase is associated with higher expenditure than in the case of CT. At present, veterinary practitioners are increasingly more frequently entering into cooperation with centres of medical science or private clinics, for the benefit of the patient, which possess MRI. The basis for correct reading of the image and interpretation of results is faultless knowledge of clinical anatomy and topography of individual structures in the central nervous system. Furthermore, thanks to this knowledge, it is possible to investigate anatomical variance.
