Ultrasound is a
valuable diagnostic tool for evaluating the soft tissue structures in the
distal limb of the horse. The images generated by ultrasonagraphy
are typically viewed in real time, but the still images in this section
will demonstrate normal ultrasonagraphic anatomy of the equine distal
limb.
On an ultrasound image, materials that allow transmittance of ultrasound waves, such as fluid, will appear black or anechoic. Tissues that reflect ultrasound waves, such as gas or bone, will appear white or hyperechoic. On the following images, notice the red "E" at the upper right hand corner of each image. The E corresponds to a marker on the ultrasound probe that is always directed lateral or dorsal. On the axial images, the side of the image with the E is lateral.
