All nine patients who developed thyroid dysfunction had reduced
echogenicity on ultrasound.
Many pets with HE have a smaller - than - normal liver or liver tissue that has abnormal texture (
echogenicity) when viewed with an ultrasound machine.
No abnormal findings were seen in cats with urethritis.The sonographic appearance of transitional cell carcinoma was irregular, its shape was irregular and
the echogenicity seemed non-homogenous.
The echogenicity of the clots was variable (hypo - to hyper --RRB- and the bladder wall was thickened.
With an experienced radiologist, use of thyroid sonography (ie, decreased
echogenicity and decreased thyroid volume) can be an effective ancillary diagnostic tool to differentiate between canine hypothyroidism and euthyroid sick syndrome.
