This is another form of diagnostic imaging but the actual area of interest is directly viewed via small cameras. An endoscope is a long thin tube containing both a light source as well as a fibre optic camera. They can be up to 3 metres in length to enable viewing of the stomach and the small intestine of a horse. They can aid the diagnosis of all sorts of conditions including roaring, gastric ulcers and nasal tumours.
