Recent advances in tendinopathy research have focused on tendon vascularization detected with Color Doppler (CD) ultrasound. The use of CD has also been described in horses in a study on chronic lesions of superficial digital flexor tendon and suspensory ligament.
The aim of this study was to investigate the occurrence and distribution of power Doppler (PD) signal in horses with superficial digital flexor tendinopathy.
Twenty-five horses with tendinopathy were included and 10 healthy horses with no lameness and no ultrasonographic abnormalities were used for comparison.
In all horses with tendinopathy, the PD signal was visible while normal tendons with no abnormalities in B-mode were PD signal-free.
We can speculate that PD could provide essential information about the healing process than the grayscale ultrasound.
腱病研究的最新进展集中在通过彩色多普勒(CD)超声检测肌腱血管形成。在一项关于指浅屈肌腱和悬韧带慢性损伤的研究中,也描述了CD在马匹中的应用。
本研究的目的是调查患有指浅屈肌腱病的马匹中能量多普勒(PD)信号的发生情况和分布。
纳入25匹患有腱病的马匹,并使用10匹无跛行且超声检查无异常的健康马匹作为对照。
在所有患有腱病的马匹中,PD信号可见,而B模式下无异常的正常肌腱无PD信号。
我们可以推测,与灰阶超声相比,PD能提供有关愈合过程的重要信息。
