Presentation Transcript

  1. Ultrasound of the Adrenal Glands Wendy Blount, DVM Click on the blue arrow at bottom left or hit the “return” key to advance the show (mouse over to reveal) Free PowerPoint Templates

  2. Patient Preparation • Fast for 12 hours • Urine filled bladder provides acoustic window • Place in dorsal recumbency • Lateral recumbency for: • Compromised or deep chested patients • Standing/sternal may be necessary for patients with large abdominal masses Free PowerPoint Templates

  3. Transition Adjustments • Depth – usually no changes from abdominal presets • Frequency – varies 5-7.5 MHz • May need higher frequency for smaller pets • For the best detail, the highest frequency that will penetrate to the adrenals should be used • Gain and Contrast – may need to increase gain when moving from bladder to prostate • TGC – adjust as needed Free PowerPoint Templates

  4. Landmarks for Repro Ultrasound • Prostate - caudal to the bladder, surrounding proximal urethra • Cryptorchid Testicles • Abdominal - as far cranially as the caudal kidney pole, as far caudally as the internal inguinal ring • or in the inguinal canal Free PowerPoint Templates

  5. Image Views Prostate (2) Long Axis (sagittal) Short Axis (transverse) Trans-rectal? Testicles (2 each) Long Axis (sagittal) Short Axis (transverse) Free PowerPoint Templates

  6. Image Views Uterine Body (2) - at urinary bladder Long Axis (sagittal) Short Axis (transverse) Ovaries (1-2 each) Long Axis (sagittal) Short Axis (transverse) if enlarged Prostate (2) Long Axis (sagittal) Short Axis (transverse) Testicles (2 each) Long Axis (sagittal) Short Axis (transverse) Free PowerPoint Templates
