“…Studies have compared low-and high-field MRI of cadaver specimens and found that although image resolution varies, the appearance of normal tissue is by and large similar when excluding magic angle artifact. 21,22 With the exception of cartilage disease, gross pathology was also detected with both modalities 22 In this survey, abnormalities previously reported in the context of the imaging diagnosis of suspensory ligament disease such as adhesion formation, 16,23 ultrasonographic divergence, 24 or changes to the MRI appearance of muscle/adipose tissue bundles 23 were given low prevalence and/or significance ratings, suggesting that these are either uncommon, not perceived to be important, or not being recognized. Given the recently suggested association of muscle/adipose tissue signal change with lameness and histopathological measures of disease, 23 which had not been observed as a feature of proximal suspensory desmitis in previous high-field MRI studies, 13,14,17 a better understanding of this feature, its prevalence, and significance is required.…”
