Digital Ultrasonography
Digital Ultrasound is a
practical imaging modality to evaluate soft tissue injuries
of the equine limb. It captures high resolution images by
passing sound waves through tissues to produce a picture.
The goal is to determine the size and shape (whiteness and
brightness) of the structure or fiber pattern. Because of
the digital format, these ultrasound images can be
manipulated to provide greater detail and alternative views.
The findings are carefully considered in comparison to the
physical exam and the athletic use of the horse.
Dr. Winter uses the digital ultrasound to evaluate
soft-tissue structures, bone surfaces and joints. He is able
to:
 |
View and evaluate tendon and ligament structures to
identify, confirm, and monitor injuries.
|
|
|
Diagnose soft tissue injuries including muscular,
vascular, tendon, tendon sheaths, ligaments, joint
capsules, and bursa defects.
|
|
|
Measure lesions or tears in order to access the
healing process and prognosis of an injured area.
|
|
|
View the doppler blood flow to and from an area of
concern. |
|
|
Assess fluid accumulation.
|
|
|
Monitor the effects of training on the tendon,
ligament, or soft tissue structures.
|
|
|
Show images and videos which can be exported or
emailed for consultation.
|
|
|
Print a photograph of any image viewed.
