Abstract: This study set out to determine normal values for acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) elastography of the superficial digital flexor tendon, deep digital flexor tendon, accessory ligament of the deep digital flexor tendon and suspensory ligament in horses. Twenty-four horses were submitted to conventional sonographic assessment and elastography imaging (quantitative ARFI method) of distal forelimb tendons and ligaments at nine anatomical regions. Elastograms depicted tendons and ligaments in orange to red … Show more

“…Elastography for use in horses has been previously reported. [1][2][24][25][26] The feasibility, reproducibility, and repeatability of elastography of metacarpal tendons in sound horses demonstrated no difference between nor within operators. 1 Similar to human Achilles tendons, normal equine tendons were found to be predominantly hard with no significant difference in stiffness noted between the SDFT and the DDFT.…”

“…Stiffness is measured based on the shear wave velocity 12 . Among the elastography techniques, acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) is superior because it has less interobserver interference than other techniques since tissue compression is performed by the device itself 13 . Elastography has been used both in human and veterinary medicine with different goals.…”

“…Similarly, through elastograms obtained by strain elastography, injured SDFTs in horses were shown to be less stiff in their acute phase 15 . However, these techniques do not allow quantitative assessment of shear‐wave velocity (tissue stiffness) and might present greater interobserver interference when compared to the ARFI method 12,13 …”
