Characterization of Equine Chronic Tendon Lesions in Low- and High-Field Magnetic Resonance Imaging (2022)
Journal Article
Doll, C., von Pueckler, K., Offhaus, J., Berner, D., & Burk, J. (2022). Characterization of Equine Chronic Tendon Lesions in Low- and High-Field Magnetic Resonance Imaging. Veterinary Sciences, 9(6), https://doi.org/10.3390/vetsci9060297

In equine medicine, experience regarding MRI of chronic tendon lesions is limited, and evidence on the suitability of different sequences in 3 T high-field MRI is scarce. Therefore, macroscopically healthy and altered tendons were examined by histolo...

Measurement accuracy of foot conformation parameters on low-field magnetic resonance images in horses (2022)
Journal Article
Bolt, D., Carrier, M., Sheridan, K., Manso-Diaz, G., & Berner, D. (2022). Measurement accuracy of foot conformation parameters on low-field magnetic resonance images in horses. Journal of Equine Veterinary Science, 112, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jevs.2022.103894

Foot imbalance and malalignment of the digits are common in horses. Angle and distance measurements performed on bones, joints and hoof wall on radiographs provide essential guidance for precise corrective trimming and shoeing. This study aimed to in...

Background
Injuries to the oblique (ODSL) or straight (SDSL) distal sesamoidean ligaments are a recognised cause of distal limb lameness in the horse. However, there are only limited publications addressing common diagnostic features and prognosis....
