The aim of this prospective, anatomical, pilot study was to describe the anatomy of the equine hind limb digital flexor tendon sheath using a combination of computed tomography (CT) and computed tomographic contrast tenography in clinically normal cadaver limbs. Ten pairs of hind limbs with no external abnormalities were examined from the level of the tarsometatarsal joint distally. Limbs initially underwent non\u2010contrast CT examination using 120\u00a0kVp, 300\u00a0mAs, and 1.5\u00a0mm slice thickness. Sixty millilitres of ioversol iodinated contrast media and saline (final concentration 100\u00a0mg\/ml) were injected using a basilar sesamoidean approach. The computed tomographic contrast tenography examination was then repeated, before dissection of the specimens to compare gross and imaging findings. The combined CT and computed tomographic contrast tenography examinations provided excellent anatomical detail of intra\u2010thecal structures. The borders of the superficial and deep digital flexor tendons, and the manica flexoria were consistently identifiable in all limbs. Detailed anatomy including that of the mesotenons, two of which are previously undescribed, and the plantar annular ligament were also consistently identifiable. Dissection of all 10 pairs of limbs revealed there to be no pathology, in accordance with the imaging findings. In conclusion, the combination of CT and computed tomographic contrast tenography may be useful adjunctive diagnostic techniques to define digital flexor tendon sheath pathology prior to surgical exploration in horses.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/vru.12586","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,12,24]],"date-time":"2017-12-24T09:50:52Z","timestamp":1514109052000},"page":"279-288","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":23,"title":["Computed tomographic contrast tenography of the digital flexor tendon sheath of the equine hindlimb"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"59","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7715-4820","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rachel","family":"Agass","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Rainbow Equine Hospital  York North, Yorkshire YO17 6SG"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jonathon","family":"Dixon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Rainbow Equine Hospital  York North, Yorkshire YO17 6SG"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Barny","family":"Fraser","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Rainbow Equine Hospital  York North, Yorkshire YO17 6SG"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,12,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.2042-3306.1999.tb03785.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2746\/042516403776148183"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2746\/042516406776563350"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.2042-3306.2010.00341.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_6_1","first-page":"38","volume-title":"Equine Diagnostic Ultrasound;
