Equine Musculoskeletal

Tendon scanning requires a high-resolution image and sophisticated software. A measurement facility and the ability to store images are essential for a detailed examination. The probe, working over the frequency range 7.0-10.0MHz, should be used with a flexible standoff. This will allow a good contact around the contours of the leg and to offset any superficial imaging from the reverberation of the probe surface.

Other musculoskeletal imaging, such as pelvic or shoulder, would normally require a sector or phased array probe to provide sufficient penetration and access to an acoustic window, ideally at a frequency of 1.5-4.0MHz
