The present study aimed to describe the normal cross sectional anatomyand magnetic resonance imaging of pastern and coffin joints in dromedarycamel. This study was conducted on twelve distal limbs (fore and hind) offresh cadavers from three adult camels of both sexes. The specimens appearednormal without orthopedic disorders. Twelve distal limbs were scanned usinga 1 Tesla MRI scanner and then injected with colored latex to be sectionedinto sagittal, dorsal and transverse slices. Cross anatomical sections werematched with their corresponding MR images for identification andevaluation of the clinically relevant anatomical structures that appeared withdifferent signal intensities on MRI scans. The present study showed that allmajor soft tissues in pastern and coffin joints of camel were clearly depictedon MR images, however, the palmar/plantar ligaments of pastern joint andligaments of navicular cartilage could not be identified on MR images. Theannotated cross anatomical sections with the corresponding MR images couldbe used as a normal reference for interpretation of some clinical diseases inpastern and coffin joints of camel.
