An opportunistic pilot study of radiographs of equine nasal bones at the usual site of nosebands

This study evaluates archived radiographs of equine nasal bones for evidence of trauma and to test whether age, sex or breed were risk factors for such radiographic changes. Radiographs of equine nasal bones (n=60) were studied for evidence of bony or soft-tissue changes by a specialist radiologist blinded to their signalment. Horses with described changes were classified as possible cases and horses without changes, non-cases.
