Radiographic examination of the navicular bones of 258 horses was carried out. Of these 258 horses, 83 were sound (Group A), 151 had been diagnosed clinically as having navicular disease (Group B), and 24 had a forefoot lameness of unknown aetiology (Group C). Seven basic shapes of distal nutrient foramina were identified from these radiographs. A scoring system was then developed based on these different types of distal nutrient foramina. When this scoring system was applied to the radiographs of the 258 horses examined significant differences were found between the mean navicular scores of the horses in Groups A, B and C. It is considered that this navicular scoring system could be very useful for comparing radiographs of the navicular bones of different horses and recording serial radiographs of navicular bones of the same horse.
对258匹马的舟骨进行了X光检查。在这258匹马中，83匹健康（A组），151匹临床诊断患有舟骨病（B组），24匹前足跛行但病因不明（C组）。从这些X光片中识别出七种远端营养孔的基本形状。然后基于这些不同类型的远端营养孔开发了一种评分系统。当将该评分系统应用于所检查的258匹马的X光片时，发现A、B和C组马匹的舟骨平均得分之间存在显著差异。据认为，这种舟骨评分系统对于比较不同马匹的舟骨X光片以及记录同一匹马的舟骨系列X光片可能非常有用。
