چکیده
Background A common cause of lameness in horses is tenovaginitis the digital flexor tendon sheath (DFTS). Ultrasound and contrast tenography have become frequently used diagnostic tools for abnormalities DFTS, but are considered insufficiently accurate describing specific lesions. Objectives To determine sensitivity specificity computed tomographic (CTT) 3 Tesla magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to detect artificial lesions within DFTS. Study design Blinded laboratory study. Methods Using an arthroscopic hook knife, (10–20 mm long 3–5 deep; n = 52) were created tenoscopically superficial (SDFT), deep (DDFT), manica flexoria (MF) proximal scutum 19 distal limb specimens. MRI CTT performed images reviewed. Sensitivity calculated each modality compared. Results Computed identification SDFT MF showed similar (75% vs. 85%, respectively; p 1) (96% both). was versus (85% 77%, 0.88). For DDFT lesions, (62%) higher compared (38%), although not statistically significant (p 0.58). (92%) lower than (96%, 1). Lesions more identified by (sensitivity: 93% 57%, 0.17; specificity: 96% 100%, Main limitations Artificial, small assessed. An incomplete portal seal resulted pressure loss leakage. Conclusions The both modalities good excellent diagnosis most artificially similarly detecting a results indicate future application DFTS pathologies, whenever suspecting tears.

Computed Tomographic Tenography of Normal Equine Digital Flexor Tendon Sheath: An Ex Vivo Study
Aim of this study was to document the normal computed tomographic tenography findings of digital flexor tendon sheath. Six ex vivo normal equine forelimbs were used. An axial approach was used to inject 185 mg/mL of iopamidol in a total volume of 60 mL into the digital flexor tendon sheaths. Single-slice helical scans, with 5 mm thickness, spaced every 3 mm, for a pitch of 0.6, and with bone al...

Identification of surgically-induced longitudinal lesions of the equine deep digital flexor tendon in the digital flexor tendon sheath using contrast-enhanced ultrasonography: an ex-vivo pilot study
BACKGROUND Longitudinal tears in the lateral aspect of the deep digital flexor tendon are the most common causes of pain localised to the equine digital flexor tendon sheath. However conventional ultrasonographic techniques provide limited information about acute lesions. Ultrasonographic contrast agents are newly developed materials that have contributed to advancement in human diagnostic imag...
متن کاملThe use of magnetic resonance imaging in diagnosing equine deep digital flexor tendinopathies--own experience.
Deep digital flexor tendinopathy is a common problem in horses of different athletic disciplines. Nowadays, the use of magnetic resonance imaging is considered to be a noninvasive and superior choice for recognizing bone and soft tissue pathologies especially related to difficult to access structures within the hoof capsule.
