Application of Ultrasonic Imaging Techniques for Evaluation of Equine Tendon Injury
The race-horses are prone to injuring their leg tendons, especially the superficial digital flexor tendon (SDFT). The SDFT injuries have a significant impact on the performance horse industry, accounting for an estimated 8-12% of all racing injuries. Historical data indicate that with traditional modes of therapy, there is approximately 4050% chance the horse will retum to athletic activity aft...
متن کاملUltrasonography study of tendons and ligaments of metacarpal region in the camel (Camelus dromedarius)
Twelve left camel forelimbs were collected, and ultrasonography was performed at five different levels around the metacarpal region. Limbs were then cut in the transverse plane at levels corresponding to the ultrasound images. Transverse and sagittal plane images were taken at each of the five levels, keeping all ultrasound imaging factors constant. Echogenicity, diameter, width and cross secti...
متن کاملUse of magnetic resonance imaging to assess soft tissue damage in the foot following penetrating injury in 3 horses
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) uses the magnetic properties of tissues to create a high resolution image, taken in any anatomical plane. The use of MRI in equine diagnostics is still in its infancy, but the technique has great potential in the investigation of many equine diseases, especially diseases of the foot. Conventional imaging modalities, including radiography, diagnostic ultrasonogra...
متن کاملIdentification 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 کاملIntroduction to Equine Tendon Injury
Equine tendon injuries have been recognized and treated for centuries. In early American texts, poor conformation was considered a primary risk factor. “Tied-in” at the knees and long, weak, and slender pasterns were thought to predispose the horse to injury because of mechanical disadvantage. Any trait that favored fetlock extension such as low heels and long toes was thought to increase a hor...
