“…CT and MRI used in this study provided three‐dimensional imaging and synchronized depiction of bone and soft tissues without overlapping or superimposition of soft tissues. These findings were in line with those of Kraft and Gavin () in equine, Hagag and Tawfiek () in bovine and Ibrahim et al (, ) in camel. In addition to that, these advantages of CT and MRI providing excellent views of the cross‐sectional imaging aid in diagnosis of the musculoskeletal disorders (Raji, Sardari, & Mohammadi, , ).…”

“…The synovial pouches of pastern and coffin joints were visualized with low signal intensities, while margins of these pouches were clearly defined with intermediate signal intensity on MR images. Similar findings were reported in cattle (Hagag & Tawfiek, ) and camel (Ibrahim et al , ). Moreover, Abdellatif et al () in the same animal added that the synovia of foot joints appeared with intermediate signal intensity on T1‐weighted MR images and they had high signal intensity on T2‐weighted MR images.…”

“…Moreover, these marrow cavities appeared hypodense and black in colour. Similar observations were reported in buffalo and camel (El-Shafey & Kassab, 2012), buffalo and cattle (Al-AKraa, El-Kasapy, & El-Shafey, 2014), cattle (Raji et al, 2008) and camel (Badawy, 2011;El-Shafey & Sayed-Ahmed, 2012;Ibrahim et al 2019aIbrahim et al , 2019b.…”

“…On the other hand, these tendons can be recognized in the anatomical sections only after dissection of the interspersed fascia (El‐Shafey & Abd Al‐Galil, in camel). According to Hagag and Tawfiek () in cattle and Ibrahim et al () these tendons exhibited low signal intensity on MR images and displayed hyperdensity surrounded by hypodense connective tissue on CT images. Moreover, the superficial and deep digital flexor tendons were surrounded by a digital flexor tendon sheath which appeared as a thin layer of low signal intensity on MR images, while it had a hypodense appearance on CT images.…”

“…However, the need for general anaesthesia and high costs limited using these techniques in veterinary clinics (Arencibia et al, ). Meanwhile, low cost‐effective MRI and CT facilities motivated several studies on different animal species; canine (Gielen, Rycke, Bree, & Simoens, ; Ober & freeman, ; Ricciardi & Lenoci, ), equine (Hevesi et al, ; Sampson & Tucker, ; Sherlock, Mair, Ireland, & Blunden, ), camel (El‐Nahas et al, ; Alsafy, El‐Gendy, & Kamal et al, ; Ibrahim, Adam, & Tawfiek, , ) and bovine (Abdellatif, Hamed, El‐Shafaey, & Eldoumani, ; Raji, Sardari, & Mohammadi, , ). However, limited studies are attended for pastern and coffin joints in buffalo.…”

The purpose of this study was to describe normal magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomographic anatomy of pastern and coffin joints in Egyptian buffalo using cadaveric distal limbs. This study was achieved using twelve fresh cadaveric distal limbs from adult healthy buffaloes of both sexes. These cadaveric limbs were scanned using a 1 Tesla MRI scanner and CT scanner, injected with red latex, frozen at −20°C for 1 week, and then sectioned into sagittal, dorsal and transverse slices. The obtained MR and CT images were selected to be matched with their corresponding anatomical cross‐sections for identification and evaluation of the clinically correlated anatomical structures of the pastern and coffin joints. The difference in signal intensities on CT and MRI scans amongst the tissues allowed clear differentiation of major bone and soft tissue structures of the pastern and coffin joints. CT provided a high spatial resolution of bone and soft tissue structures, however, MRI allowed a better and higher resolution and definition between soft tissues. The current study provided a normal CT and MRI anatomic reference which could help veterinary clinicians for interpretation and diagnosis of the clinically affected pastern and coffin joints in buffalo.

The current study aimed to describe the normal gross anatomy, computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the metacarpo/metatarsophalangeal (MCP/MTP) joint in Egyptian buffalo, and to determine the site of intra‐articular injection of this joint. This study was conducted on eighteen fresh cadaveric distal limbs of healthy Egyptian buffaloes. Six cadaveric MCP/MTP joints were freshly dissected for studying their normal morphological features and determination of the suitable site for intra‐articular injection. Another twelve MCP/MTP joints were imaged using a 16‐slice CT scanner and a 1.5 Tesla MRI scanner, injected with coloured latex and then sectioned into dorsal, sagittal and transverse slices. The articular surface, joint cavity, ligaments and surrounding tendons of the MCP/MTP joint were identified and briefly described. CT and MRI provided identification of the bony and soft tissue structures of the MCP/MTP joint with variable signal intensities. The present study provided a brief description of the normal gross anatomy of MCP/MTP joint in buffalo to serve as a reference for the evaluation of CT and MRI images, which in turn could enable the veterinary clinicians in interpretation of the clinical diseases in this joint.

Characteristics of Ultrasound and Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Normal Testes and Epididymis Besides Angiography of Testicular Artery in Dromedary Camel

et al. 2022

Decreasing male fertility encouraged the investigators to innovate accurate diagnostic non-invasive methods for detection of changes in the testicular parenchyma. Ultrasonography (US) has the potential to be used in this manner for decades, but magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is still of limited application in animals for this purpose. The current study was designed to describe appearances and quantitative MRI attributes of the normal testes, epididymis besides angiography of testicular artery in camels. About 30 apparently healthy male dromedary camels aged 8–14 years were slaughtered during the rutting season. Immediately after slaughtering, the male gonads (n = 30 pairs of testicles and epididymis) were subjected to morphometric evaluation using a Vernier caliper and ultrasound scanning. Epididymial sperms were evaluated for motility, vitality and abnormality. MRI was performed for testes (n=16) by using a 1.5T Excite-II MRI apparatus of Sigma. Radiography and angioarchitecture of testicular artery (n=24) were done. Camel testicular length, width, and depth showed non-significant differences between a Vernier caliper or sonar. The MRI results revealed that both the testis and epididymis have homogenously intermediate signal (T1) and testes have hyperintense signal, with slightly lower signal in the epididymis (T2). In conclusion, both the ultrasonography and MRI techniques, with each respective computer-assisted imaging, could be used to detect the histomorphological changes of the camels' testicles. However, US imaging remains the first diagnostic technique for evaluating the reproductive health in men for its lower cost and accuracy. MRI is beneficial when the sonograms are inconclusive and/or equivocal. It shows the examined tissues in greater anatomical details compared to ultrasonography. Further studies are needed to compare between characteristics of US and MRI of normal testes and epididymis with testicular artery angiography in living camel during rut season and non-rut season and between normal healthy and affected diseased genitalia.
