This interactive computer program presents the user with full color digital images of the normal equine foot from multiple views. Clinically important anatomic structures are highlighted graphically using a click-list interface. The interface allows the user to navigate readily between different views and topics with pull down menus. A glossary of terms provides both text based information and audio pronunciations.
Topics covered at present include topographic anatomy, osteology, and radiology.
Additional topics will enhance subsequent versions. While originally designed for veterinary student instruction, the program provides a useful review for equine practitioners as well as animal health technicians, farriers, and horse owners. The Equine Foot is currently only available for Macintosh computers. This program will run in 256 colors.
