To correlate anatomic features of the equine tarsus identified in plastinated sections with images obtained via magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
4 horses.
MRI (1.5-Tesla magnet) of the tarsus was performed on the pelvic limbs of 4 clinically normal horses following euthanasia. After imaging, tarsocrural joint spaces and vasculature were injected with colored latex. Sagittal and transverse sections of the tarsi were plastinated to facilitate interpretation of MR images.
Relevant anatomic structures were identified and labeled on the plastinated tissue slices and corresponding MR images. Results indicated high correlations between MRI findings and those of plastinated sections.
The data obtained provided certain reference standards for normal anatomic structure sizes and positions in the equine tarsus. This information may aid future physiologic or clinical studies of this joint.
将塑化切片中确定的马跗骨的解剖特征与通过磁共振成像（MRI）获得的图像进行关联。
4匹马。
对4匹临床正常的马实施安乐死后，对其盆腔肢的跗骨进行MRI（1.5特斯拉磁体）检查。成像后，向跗关节间隙和脉管系统注射彩色乳胶。将跗骨的矢状面和横断面切片进行塑化处理，以利于对MR图像的解读。
在塑化组织切片和相应的MR图像上识别并标记了相关的解剖结构。结果表明MRI检查结果与塑化切片的结果高度相关。
所获得的数据为马跗骨正常解剖结构的大小和位置提供了一定的参考标准。这些信息可能有助于该关节未来的生理学或临床研究。
