The stifle joint, a common location for lameness in dogs, is a complex arrangement of osseous, articular, fibrocartilaginous, and ligamentous structures. The small size of its component structures, restricted joint space, and its intricate composition make successful diagnostic imaging a challenge. Different tissue types and their superimposition limit successful diagnostic imaging with a single modality. Most modalities exploit the complexity of tissue types found in the canine stifle joint. Improved understanding of the principles of each imaging modality and the properties of the tissues being examined will enhance successful diagnostic imaging.
stifle关节是犬类跛行的常见部位，由骨、关节、纤维软骨和韧带结构组成，结构复杂。其组成结构尺寸小、关节间隙受限且成分复杂，使得成功进行诊断成像成为一项挑战。不同组织类型及其叠加限制了单一模态下的成功诊断成像。大多数模态利用了犬 stifle关节中发现的组织类型的复杂性。更好地理解每种成像模态的原理以及所检查组织的特性将提高诊断成像的成功率。
