To date there have been no studies that describe the ultrasonographic evaluation of kidney development in canine fetuses. The aim of this prospective and longitudinal study was to monitor fetal kidney development with ultrasound and use fetal kidney measurements as a complementary biometric index for estimation of gestational age. Ultrasonographic...

The aim of this study was to quantitatively investigate the oscillation of the fetal heart rate (HR) in advance of normal delivery and whether this index could be used to indicate impending delivery. In addition, fetal HR oscillation and umbilical artery resistive index (RI) were correlated to determine if the combination of these parameters provid...

The aim of this study was to develop regression models for correlation of canine fetal heart development with body size to characterize normal development or suggest cardiac anomalies. Twenty clinically healthy pregnant bitches, either brachycephalic and non-brachycephalic, were examined ultrasonographically. Transabdominal fetal echocardiography w...

A radiografia de abdome é considerada a técnica mais precisa para a contagem do número de fetos. No entanto, há discordância na literatura sobre o momento ideal para realizar o exame para obter a contagem fetal mais precisa. Os objetivos deste estudo foram comparar, em dois períodos de gestação, a precisão da contagem fetal em cadelas a partir de r...

Modern high-resolution ultrasound images enable earlier assessment of measures of fetal development, including identification of the bowel. The aim of this study was to describe the ultrasonographic development of fetal bowel and correlate this with gestational age; define whether ultrasonographic visualization of fetal intestinal peristalsis in ut...

Interpretation of pulmonary radiographs is one of the most difficult aspects of radiology and interobserver variability is high. The aim of this study was to assess variations in interpretation of pulmonary pathology amongst Brazilian veterinarians with different levels of training and experience, using the interpretation by American board-certifie...

OBJECTIVE To describe the effect of fasting on the technical success of abdominal ultrasonography specifically in respect of examination of the gall bladder, duodenum, pancreas, adrenal glands and portal vein in dogs.METHODS Randomised, prospective study of 150 dogs with a variety of physical characteristics. Animals were divided into two groups of...

Different issues arise during the course of gestational ultrasound in female dogs. Such questions are correlated: the diagnostic confirmation of pregnancy, the calculation of gestational age, the evaluation of the number of fetuses and the diagnosis of fetal suffering. However, not all of these questions have simple answers, because some difficulti...

To compare ultrasonographic diagnoses with the findings of surgical exploration to identify and classify potential diagnostic errors. A cross-sectional prospective study of surgically confirmed ultrasound findings was conducted over a period of 29 months in two veterinary hospitals. Any errors in diagnosis made by the sonographer were classified as...

In recent years the ferret (Mustela putorius furo) has become popular pet featuring a ever growing population in Brazil, and being increasingly found in veterinary clinics. This study aimed to evaluate the ultrasound anatomy of abdominal lymph nodes of healthy ferrets. We used 20 animals, nine of which males and eleven females, with overall mean ag...

The aim of this study was evaluate efficacy of the ultrassonographic exam in the defining the location of the abdominal neoplasm and to estimate the accuracy of the method in screening the malignant neoplasm process. In 24 patients of 113 animals evaluated by the ultrassonographic exam it was observed a mass and/or a intermingled nodule in differen...

To assess the accuracy of intestinal ultrasound for diagnosis of intestinal obstruction in dogs and cats. A prospective clinical study was performed. Inclusion criteria were dogs and cats with clinical signs suggestive of gastrointestinal obstruction. Animals with no obstruction detected on ultrasound were excluded if they could not be monitored fo...

RESUMO: A ultrassonografia é uma técnica de diagnóstico por imagem que permite muitas aplicações em diversos campos da medicina veterinária. Todavia, a aplicação inicial da técnica teve fins industriais e somente nos meados de 1940 é que houve a introdução do ultrassom como método diagnóstico. A primeira aplicação na medicina veterinária ocorreu no...

The ultrasound is an imaging technique that allows many applications in several fields of veterinary medicine. However, in the beginning was used as industrial purposes, and only in mid-1940's ultrasonography was introduced as a diagnostic method in medicine. The first application in veterinary medicine took place in 1966 to detect pregnancy in she...

The aims of this study were to assess the difficulties of implementing PennHIP method in diagnosis of hip dysplasia, comparing this method with the recommended by CBRV and determining the influence of training in the interpretation through interobserver analysis. Fifteen dogs of the Labrador breed were used to evaluate the radiographic examination...

O propósito deste trabalho foi determinar a viabilidade da ultrassonografia para avaliar o canal auditivo externo de cães, aferindo a espessura e arquitetura da parede do conduto auditivo e bula timpânica. Foram avaliados 10 cães da raça Retriever do Labrador não portadores de otite externa. O exame foi realizado com o aparelho de ultrassonografia...

The purpose of this study was to determine the viability of ultrasonographic evaluation of the external ear in dogs. The thickness and architecture of the ear wall and tympanic bulla of 10 Labrador Retrievers without ear disease was evaluated. The examination was performed with an ultrasound system and a 14 MHz bidimentional linear-array transducer...
