“…For example, Werpy et al showed that artificially-created osteochondral defects in the fetlock were more accurately represented using high-field systems (1.0 and 1.5T) than with low-field systems (0.27T), with their chosen pulse sequences [2,10]. Even so, the vast majority of publications describing articular cartilage lesions seen on MRI were performed using high-field MRI systems ex vivo on limbs in a research setting [3][4][5][6]. At low field, Olive reported moderate-to-good sensitivity and accuracy when imaging artificially-created, full-and partial-thickness articular cartilage lesions in the coffin joint at 0.27T, by using a combination of sagittal and dorsal T1-weighted GRE sequences (2-3 mm slice thickness) [11].…”
