| description | The objective of the study was to examine the normal liver using ultrasound technique formeasuring liver thickness, portal and hepatic veins diameter in clinically normal cattle, furthermore todetermine some liver lesions. Ultrasonography was used to evaluate the liver in 20 local cattle breeds ofdifferent ages 10 of them have exhibited clinical signs of chronic emaciation, icteric mucousmembranes and decrease in milk production moreover, the other 10 cows were clinically normal. Liverposition, diameter and texture were explored from the right side of the abdominal wall in standingposition, without anesthesia by using 3.5 MHz transducer, after hair moistening by alcohol. The largestliver thickness was measured at the 10 and 12 intercostal space and it was decreased gradually forward.Normal liver has an echogenic appearance of equally distributed white dots and had a uniform mildechogenicity, there were an anechoic round and tubular vascular structures, representing hepatic andportal veins while abnormal liver has multi-hypoechoic circles. It has been concluded that, Sonographyof normal liver can be utilized as a good diagnostic references in animals with liver diseases. |
