Subchondral bone cysts or cyst like lesions are an important hint in the radiographic diagnosis of degenerative joint disease. In this study we set artificial lesions of different size in the subchondral bone of different joint surfaces of horses, and we then tried to determine from which size on these lesions could be made visible on radiographs in different projections. It shows that the possibility of visualization of such lesions is frequently overestimated, cyst like lesions have to be quite large, before they can be seen on routine radiographs.
软骨下骨囊肿或囊肿样病变是退行性关节病影像学诊断的重要线索。在本研究中，我们在马不同关节面的软骨下骨设置了不同大小的人工病变，然后试图确定从何种大小起这些病变在不同投照的X线片上能够显现。结果表明，此类病变的显影可能性常常被高估，囊肿样病变必须相当大，才能在常规X线片上被看到。
