“…ascitic fluid, faecal material. EU was performed, as described (5,6,9,19), to evaluate renal parenchymal and excretory pathway architecture, to delineate the kidneys when abdominal contrast was reduced, and to qualitatively assess renal function. The excretory urograms were evaluated for renal size, architectural abnormalities, and renal functional capacity (22), ureters evaluation on 2 to 5 minutes radiographs during EU.…”

“…The dogs were prepared for examination by clipping hair from the scanning site, cleansing of the skin with surgical spirit to remove debris and by application of liberal amounts of coupling gel to exclude air bubbles, which degrade image quality. Ultrasonography was performed, as described (5,13,19,21), to evaluate kidney echogenicity, to determine focal or diffuse abnormalities of the renal parenchyma or abnormalities of the renal pelvis, collecting system and proximal ureters.…”

“…However, survey radiographs may not provide adequate morphologic information when the patient is emaciated or has retroperitoneal fluid (5,6,9,23). Excretory urography (EU) is a radiographic contrast-enhanced procedure used to enhance visualization of the renal parenchyma and to provide visualization of the structures not normally identified on survey radiographs, i.e., pelvic recesses, renal pelves, and ureters (5,6,9,19,23). EU also provides limited qualitative evaluation of renal blood flow and function as well as gamuts of potential pathophysiologic cause based on renal opacification patterns (23).…”

“…Radiographic imaging may allow assessment of a relationship existing between the urinary tract diseases and clinical signs. The kidneys are usually visible on survey radiographs, but the ureters are not (2,5,9,13,19). Survey radiography provides information regarding renal size, location, number, and radiographic density.…”

Summary:The objectives of the present study were to describe the complementary use of radiography and ultrasonography in the diagnosis of upper urinary tract disorders in dogs, and to compare ultrasonographic findings with the survey and contrast radiographic findings in the evaluation of canine upper urinary tract diseases. The study materials were composed of 22 dogs of various breed, age, and sex with upper urinary tract diseases. Pyelonephritis (9 cases), acute renal failure (7 cases), policystic renal disease (2 cases), bilateral hydronephrosis (one case), radiopaque nephrolith (2 cases), unilateral ectopic ureter (one case) were diagnosed radiographically and ultrasonographically. The results of the present study indicate that ultrasonography was more sensitive than radiography in diagnosis of upper urinary diseases but was incapable in qualitative evaluation of renal functions and in examination of the ureters. Survey radiographs had little value in the diagnosis of pyelonephritis, disorders of renal pelvis, ureters except for the identification of radiopaque nephrolith. It was determined that EU was valuable for determination of the ectopic ureter, hydronephrosis, and evaluation of renal function.

Drug-induced splenic congestion has been reported in dogs secondary to barbiturate administration. This research attempted to verify and quantify size changes associated with drug-induced splenic congestion in dogs. Transverse plane ultrasound images of the spleen in normal dogs were collected to determine the maximum diameter in the minimum dimension prior to, and 15 min after, administration of acepromazine, thiopental, or propofol. Significant splenic enlargement was seen after administration of acepromazine (P<0.01) and thiopental (P=0.02), but no enlargement was seen after administration of propofol. Significantly increased attenuation (P<0.01) and a trend of increased backscatter (P=0.09) were measured after administration of acepromazine. These results indicate that measurable splenomegaly occurs after acepromazine and thiopental administration. This represents the first report of a condition causing measurable diffuse increased attenuation in the spleen. Propofol does not cause measurable splenic enlargement under the conditions of this research.
