Longitudinal Cell Tracking and Simultaneous Monitoring of Tissue Regeneration after Cell Treatment of Natural Tendon Disease by Low-Field Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Figure 1

Exemplary transverse T1-weighted gradient echo magnetic resonance image of the equine distal limb in the metacarpal region, with arrows indicating the metacarpal bone (A), the hypointense deep digital flexor tendon (DDFT, B), and the superficial digital flexor tendon (SDFT, C) displaying a hyperintense intratendinous lesion (D) surrounded by hypointense healthy tendon tissue. The rectangle marks the region relevant to this study, which is displayed in all other figures; lateral is displayed on the left.
