Abstract:
This study aimed to describe the computed tomographic (CT) dimensions and the contrast attenuation of the eye in Jeju horses and Thoroughbreds. We evaluated the CT images of 10 Jeju horses and 6 Thoroughbreds without ocular abnormalities to assess the ocular dimensions and contrast attenuation. The following measurements showed significant differences between Jeju horses and Thoroughbreds (P<0.05): the diameters of the lens, globe, posterior segment, orbital fossa, and lateromedial distance of the anterior chamber; and the Hounsfield units of the vitreous body. This study describes the CT anatomical characteristics of Jeju horses and Thoroughbreds and the differences between the two breeds and provides useful information for understanding and evaluating of the eyes of Jeju horses through a CT scan.

Computed Tomography
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...
