Dorsomedial-palmarolateral oblique
(DMPLO)
•
•
Skylines the dorsolateral and palmaromedial aspects of the fetlock
joint, and the medial proximal sesamoid bone.
Acquire as for the DLPMO image, but from a dorsomedial position
aiming towards a palmarolateral position. Alternatively, to avoid
crossing the horse aiming from the palmarolateral position towards
a dorsomedial position will produce the same image.
In this DMPLO image, the L marker is on the dorsolateral side
of the fetlock. If this image was not labelled as a DMPLO view, it
could be easily identified as such because of the location of the
marker.
