The bone mineral density (BMD) and the bone mineral content (BMC) in the bone tissue of the bilateral first phalanges of horses' thoracic limbs were analysed. The research material consisted of isolated pastern bones derived from 22 horses. The research was conducted with the use of a Norland model Excell Plus densitometer (Fort Atkinson WI, USA), using affinited beam X-ray technology and an animal research programme (Research Scan, 3.9.6. version) at the following parameters: scanning resolution of 1.5 x 1.5 mm, scanning speed 60 mm/s. The differences between BMC and BMD values in bilateral first phalanges in the thoracic limbs in horses were found to be nonsignificant. It also appeared that there are statistically significant positive correlations between values of the left and right bone of both analysed variables.
分析了马胸肢双侧第一指骨骨组织中的骨密度（BMD）和骨矿物质含量（BMC）。研究材料包括来自22匹马的分离掌骨。研究使用Norland Excell Plus型骨密度仪（美国威斯康星州阿特金森堡），采用双能X射线技术和动物研究程序（Research Scan，3.9.6版本），参数如下：扫描分辨率1.5×1.5毫米，扫描速度60毫米/秒。发现马胸肢双侧第一指骨的BMC和BMD值差异无统计学意义。还发现，两个分析变量的左右骨值之间存在统计学上显著的正相关。
