Normal ultrasonographic findings of the liver in mixed breed cattle in Iran
Message:
Abstract:
The aim of this study was centered on ultrasonographic findings and techniques of the liver in the mixed breed cow. This study conducted on 15 clinically healthy female mixed breed cows of the same age. Cows were shaved on their right side from the caudal region of elbow up to the flank and from transverse processes of vertebral up to the ventral aspect of the abdomen. Ultrasound examination of liver was performed according to the approved techniques from the caudal aspect of 13th rib to the 7th intercostal spaces (ICS). Items surveyed in this study included the possibility of finding liver from each ICS, distance between the position of liver in each view from the dorsal midline during expirations, echogenicity of liver, depth of liver, depth and diameter of portal vein and caudal vena cava and position and size of gall bladder. The liver tissue was completely accessible from 8th to 12th ICS. The parenchymal pattern of liver consists of numerous weak echoes homogenously distributed over the entire liver. Several vessels were observed while the lumen of these vessels was anechoic and thus appeared black. The caudal vena cava was consistently positioned dorsal and medial to the portal vein. It was usually looked triangular or drop-like on cross-sectional view. It was completely accessible between the 10th to 12th ICS. The diameter and depth was increasing cranially. The portal vein was usually visualized in the 10th to 12th ICS. It was round or slightly oval in shape. The diameter was decreasing toward the cranial while the depth was increasing. The gall bladder was visualized in most of the cows. Its shape was mostly slim and oblong, sometimes pear shaped, and rarely round.
