Equine 1 - Surgery Flashcards
whiter colour on xray
radiopaque
more radiation absorbed
dark colour on xray
radiolucent
more radiation passed through
how different organs absorb radiation
metal > bone > soft tissue, fat, water > gas
opaque –> lucent
3 methods of xray detection
conventional
computed
direct/ digital
periosteum
new bone formation on outside of bone
endosteum
new bone formation on inside of bone
sclerosis
increased bone mass
increased opacity
in response to stress, wall off infecton, protect weakened area
osteophyte
new bone production at margins of articular cartilage and periarticular new bone
entheseophyte
new bone production where tendons, ligaments or joint capsules attach on the new bone
focal demineralisation due to
infection, inflammation, neoplasia
continued pressure on the bone
cyst
general demineralisation due to
osteopenia
long standing non weight bearing lameness
pregnancy, dietary imbalance, metabolic imbalance
description of fractures
location
complete/ incomplete/ comminuted
displace/ non displaced
articular / non articular
physitis
widening at epiphseal and metaphyseal margins of the growth plate
immature horses
ocd common location
hock and stifle
ocd on xrays
irregular lucent zones in subchondral bone
can be surrounded by increased opacity
alteration in contour of articular surface
osteoarthritis on xrau
periarticular osteophyte formation
subchonrdal bone lysis / sclerosis
lucent zones in subchonrdal bone
narrowing of joint space
cyst like lesions
joint capsule distension
contrast radiography
radiodense medium
helps see communications
