Our hypothesis was that magnetic resonance (<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">MR<\/jats:styled-content>) imaging would be more accurate than ultrasonography in identifying the size of the suspensory ligament and the presence and size of noncollagenous tissues within the ligament. Eleven horses were used for ultrasonographic and<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">MR<\/jats:styled-content>imaging and histologic evaluation of the rear suspensory ligament. The origin and body of the normal suspensory ligament had a heterogenous appearance on<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">MR<\/jats:styled-content>images with two separate islands of mixed signal intensity evident throughout its otherwise hypointense cross\u2010sectional area. Histologically, there were isolated islands of muscle, adipose, loose connective tissue and dense collagenous partitions, organized in two separate bundles that extended through the full length of the suspensory ligament origin and body to the level of its bifurcation. Comparison of<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">MR<\/jats:styled-content>images with corresponding histologic sections confirmed that islands of heterogenous signal intensity in normal suspensory ligaments correlated well with these bundles. Using ultrasonography, it was impossible to distinguish these islands from surrounding dense collagenous tissue consistently.<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">MR<\/jats:styled-content>imaging determined the cross\u2010sectional area of the suspensory ligament more accurately than ultrasonography. Based upon these results,<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">MR<\/jats:styled-content>imaging is superior to ultrasonography for assessment of the suspensory ligament. The appearance associated with normal ligament anatomy needs to be understood before<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">MR<\/jats:styled-content>signal variation can be considered as indicative of disease in the suspensory ligament.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1740-8261.2011.01922.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,2,15]],"date-time":"2012-02-15T03:15:46Z","timestamp":1329275746000},"page":"318-328","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":25,"title":["CHARACTERIZATION OF THE ORIGIN AND BODY OF THE NORMAL EQUINE REAR SUSPENSORY LIGAMENT USING ULTRASONOGRAPHY, MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING, AND HISTOLOGY"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"53","author":[{"given":"Michael","family":"Schramme","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Sciences North Carolina State University College of Veterinary Medicine 4700 Hillsborough Street Raleigh NC 27606"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Anne","family":"Josson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Sciences North Carolina State University College of Veterinary Medicine 4700 Hillsborough Street Raleigh NC 27606"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Keith","family":"Linder","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Population Health and Pathobiology North Carolina State University College of Veterinary Medicine 4700 Hillsborough Street Raleigh NC 27606"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,2,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"133","DOI":"10.2460\/ajvr.1991.52.01.133","article-title":"Composition and morphologic features of the interosseous muscle in Standardbreds and Thoroughbreds","volume":"52","author":"Wilson DA","year":"1991","journal-title":"Am J Vet Res"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_1","unstructured":"BatheA.Plantar metatarsal neurectomy and fasciotomy for the treatment of hindlimb proximal suspensory desmitis.
