Videodermoscopy is a method that enables the examination of many parameters of the skin and its structures. The aim of this study was to assess specific dermoscopic parameters in purebred Arabian horses during the summer. The study involved 21 clinically healthy purebred Arabian horses (18 mares and three stallions) that had not been used for breeding and were 1 to 25 years old. The videoderoscopic evaluation was performed on seven selected areas of the body: forehead, mane, neck, chest, flank, rump, and tail. The tests were carried out with Vidix and Olympus cellSens specialised software. Videodermoscopy revealed that the skin was pigmented in all of the bay horses, in one of the seal brown horses, and in the 10 grey horses. Only one grey horse and one chestnut horse had unpigmented skin. Hair thickness ranged from 44.82 µm (neck) to 75 µm (mane). Regarding the amount of hair in the field of view, the highest and lowest numbers of hairs were found on the neck (3,004) and mane (990), respectively. A valuable insight obtained from our research is that it is possible to use digital image analysis for precise quantitative and qualitative evaluations of the skin and its structures.
视频皮肤镜检查是一种能够检查皮肤及其结构诸多参数的方法。本研究的目的是评估夏季纯种阿拉伯马的特定皮肤镜参数。该研究涉及21匹临床健康的纯种阿拉伯马（18匹母马和3匹种马），这些马未曾用于繁殖，年龄在1至25岁之间。视频皮肤镜评估在身体的七个选定部位进行：额头、鬃毛、颈部、胸部、侧腹、臀部和尾巴。测试使用Vidix和奥林巴斯CellSens专业软件进行。视频皮肤镜检查显示，所有枣色马、一匹海豹棕色马和10匹灰色马的皮肤有色素沉着。只有一匹灰色马和一匹栗色马的皮肤无色素沉着。毛发厚度从颈部的44.82微米到鬃毛的75微米不等。关于视野内的毛发数量，颈部（3004根）和鬃毛（990根）分别发现了最高和最低毛发数量。我们的研究获得的一个有价值的见解是，可以使用数字图像分析对皮肤及其结构进行精确的定量和定性评估。
