Colonic intussusception and adenocarcinoma in a cat
From Chapter 8 – Gastrointestinal Tract
Figure 8.14. Colonic intussusception and adenocarcinoma in a cat. Transverse sonographic (A) and sagittal (B) sonograms of a large nodular echogenic colonic thickening/mass (arrowheads) associated with an intussusception in a 15-year-old cat. The mass was diagnosed as a colonic adenocarcinoma. The arrows point to the invaginated segment of colon with a small amount of echogenic fluid in its lumen. F, invaginated fat; and an asterisk is placed on the lumen of intussusceptum in A. C: Gross specimen of the intussusception associated with an asymmetric transmural adenocarcinoma. F, fat.

If you’re new at ultrasound or wish to improve your skills at finding all abdominal structures, you might like to explore this multimedia eLearning tool. Using 3D animations, each tutorial describes the sonographic approach and anatomy for each region of interest integrating 3D CT and ultrasound images with real-time probe positioning. Normal sonographic features (measurements, variants, etc.) are covered with essential facts and concepts for better recognition of pathologies. This course was designed as a preliminary course to the Atlas of Small Animal Ultrasonography.
Visit the vimeo platform Mastering Abdominal Ultrasound in Dogs and Cats to start learning on you iPad or any other device, computer or Smart TV. You’ll find a free course on Adrenals to give you a better idea of the content.
Great time in Milano for ultrasound training
A great week of ultrasound training in Milano (Italy) with Swan Specchi and several new friends. We can confirm that Italians are as good with ultrasound as there are with pizza, pasta and gelato. Thanks to Unisvet, our Italian host. We miss it already. Now we need to go back to the gym…. 😉
Cysterna chyli in a 10 year old dog
From Chapter 15 – Abdominal Cavity, Lymph Nodes, and Great Vessels
Figure 15.3 Cysterna chyli in a 10 year old Labrador dog with gastroenteritis. There was no peritoneal effusion or other signs of lymphatic congestion. The cysterna (arrowheads) appears as a well-defined cystic structure partly encircling the mid abdominal aorta on its dorsal left border. It appears fusiform in longitudinal plane (A) and oval to semicircular in transverse plane (B).

Transitional cell carcinoma and regional lymphadenopathy in a male neutered dog
From Chapter 14 – Male Reproductive Tract
Figure 14.20. Transitional cell carcinoma and regional lymphadenopathy in an old, neutered dog with hematuria and dysuria. Sagittal (A) and transverse (B) images of the bladder neck and prostate. Strongly shadowing hyperechoic foci are in the prostate, and a soft-tissue projection is in the bladder lumen (arrow). Sagittal images of right medial iliac (C) and hypogastric (D) lymph nodes, which appear enlarged and irregular. The medial iliac node (C) is relatively uniform and nearly anechoic in comparison with the hypogastric (D) node that is heterogeneous and coarse in echotexture. These lymph nodes are adjacent to the external and internal iliac vessels, respectively.
