Can a veterinary ultrasound machine check musculoskeletal conditions?

As a medical equipment in the animal world, veterinary ultrasound machines are used in pregnancy diagnosis, disease detection and backfat thickness measurement. Today we talk about veterinary ultrasound machine for musculoskeletal examination, the role played.

equine ultrasound machine

First, the application of veterinary ultrasound machine on the skeletal muscles of large animals and horses

Application of veterinary ultrasound machine can check the animal limbs soft tissue injury, in addition to the diagnosis of soft tissue injury in the horse wrist has great value, but also can be detected in order to eye aspect:

1, shoulder joint of the arm biceps tendon, mucus capsule morphology, subcutaneous tissue around the knee joint, kneecap internal and external medial ligaments, femoral tibial joint internal and external ligaments, femoral talus crest, meniscus plate;.

2The ultrasonographic diagnosis of knee joint abnormalities can be seen as joint exudation, thickening of synovial capsule, articular cartilage, subchondral defects, soft tissue or bone injuries;

3, Evaluation of the degree of ossification of the small tarsal bones in foals; all anatomical structures of the phalanx (the phalanx, on the other hand, is equivalent to the first phalanx of the middle finger in humans) and their injuries, whereas the tendon sheaths of the fingers and the superficial flexor tendons of the fingers are the vulnerable parts;

4. Veterinary ultrasound examination of bovine limbs has also been partially reported;

Second, the application of veterinary ultra-machine on small animal canine musculoskeletal

1, canine hip joint using veterinary ultrasound can ultrasound measurement of the acetabulum, femoral head, joint space, on the normal and abnormal dogs can be identified.

2, ultrasound can diagnose joint exudate, joint capsule thickening.

3, Knee, shoulder joint separation osteochondritis of articular cartilage defects can be detected.

4, veterinary ultrasound can be a good check of soft tissue injuries, muscle or tendon (such as the biceps tendon) partial or complete tear, as well as tendon healing process monitoring, ultrasound can be checked.

5. Dislocation of tendons, scar formation in old injuries, free division of biceps tendon sheaths and tenosynovitis can be diagnosed by ultrasound.

6. Abscesses, foreign bodies, hemorrhages, soft tissue masses in the musculoskeletal system, and even masses in the brachial plexus region can be seen with clear echoes.
