|
One fresh equine cadaver (two forelimbs) and five non-lamed thoroughbreds (ten sound forelimbs) were examined ultrasonographically through 5.0 MHz linear array transducer with a stand-off pad in palmar pastern region. The normal transverse ultrasonographic images of the superficial digital flexor tendon (SDFT), deep digital flexor tendon (DDFT), straight sesamoidean ligament (SSL), oblique sesamoidean ligament (OSL), and medium scutum could be identified at the region. The mean SD (min.max. ) of SDFT cross-sectional areas at P1A, P1B, P1C in the region were (), (), (), respectively. The mean SD (min.max. ) of DDFT cross-sectional areas at each phalanx (P1A, P1B, P1C, P2A, P2B) were (), (), (), (), (), respectively. The mean ratio of SDFT of P1B to DDFT was 0.74, 1.06, 1.01, 0.87, 0.74 at P1A, P1B, P1C, P2A, P2B, respectively.
