Delayed gadolinium-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging and T2 mapping of cartilage of the distal metacarpus3 / metatarsus3 of the normal Thoroughbred horse

Osteoarthritis of the metacarpo/metatarsophalangeal joint is a major cause of lameness in the horse. Magnetic resonance imaging and particularly delayed gadolinium enhanced imaging of cartilage (dGEMRIC) and T2 cartilage mapping in humans has been shown to visualize cartilage matrix changes in osteo...
