Happening now!
SMALL ANIMAL SOFT TISSUE IMMERSION CLASS

The objective of this program is for the attendee to become a proficient, confident soft tissue sonographer, by immersing them in soft tissue ultrasound over a 3 month period. The student will be with us for 4 days in session 1, and 3 days in sessions 2 and 3.
Each session is approximately 1 month apart. Each session will build upon the prior session.
K***s, measurements, labeling, scan technique of the abdomen, scanning protocol, artifacts, normal and abnormals, disease processes, and aspirate and biopsy technique will be taught.

Echo Images of the Month:

Aliasing is a phenomenon that occurs when the color flow velocity exceeds the Nyquist limit (number on each side of the color bar). Color starts to wrap around the bar and gives the impression of reversed flow where none exists. This is like seeing wheels on a car rotate backwards on TV or in a movie. The frame rate of the film cannot keep up with the rotations of the wheel.
The image below shows an aliased signal during systolic pulmonary artery flow. The aliasing velocity (Nyquist Limit) is 77 cm/s so any flow that exceeds that limit will start to wrap color and alias. Verify normal flow by obtaining PW Doppler of the flow.

The image shows color flow aliasing in pulmonary stenosis. The aliased signal of turbulent abnormal flow is typically more mixed and speckled vs the layered look seen in aliasing not associated with turbulence (see image above). Spectral Doppler will confirm the high flow velocity.

Soft Tissue Images of the Month:

An ultrasound exam was performed on an 8 year old F/S Labrador Retriever that presented for draining skin lesions around the mouth, eyes, and footpads. Liver enzymes were elevated.

Sagittal and transverse images of the liver.
Variably sized hypoechoic nodules are seen diffusely in all liver lobes (honeycomb pattern). The liver is normal in size. Together with the skin lesions, this appearance is consistent with hepatocutaneous syndrome with necrolytic dermatitis. This is a rare disorder in dogs, associated with hypoaminoacidemia. The prognosis is guarded to poor, although some long-term remissions have been reported.

Echo Image of the Month:
 
How to get good alignment for spectral Doppler aortic flow.

These are images of systolic aortic flow. Aortic flow is characteristically rapidly accelerating with peak velocity occurring during the first third of systole. Normal aortic flow velocities are less than 2m/sec in the dog, and a bit less than that in the cat. Velocities above 2.5 m/sec are usually abnormal and velocities between 2m/sec and 2.5 m/sec are in a grey zone.
 
The first image is obtained from an apical 5 chamber view. The second image is obtained from a subcostal view. Subcostal views areusually have better alignment of the Doppler cursor with the aorta than apical 5 chamber views. Accurate velocities need Doppler beam alignment that is parallel to flow. Not being parallel to flow will underestimate flow velocity.

Soft Tissue Images of the Month:

15 year old Dachshund
Presented for abnormal behavior and vision impairment, severe weight loss, inappetence.

Based on the following radiographs and ultrasound, what is your diagnosis?

On ultrasound exam, the right adrenal gland is enlarged (measuring almost 3cm; normal is less than 8mm in large dogs), with mineralization and loss of normal shape. The mineralzation creates a hyperechoic interface and distal shadowing.

On abdominal radiographs, the adrenal mass can be seen in the cranial retroperitoneal region, just ventral and to the right of T13 and L1.

This was an adrenal carcinoma. Unlike cats, where adrenal mineralization is considered an incidental finding, mineralization of the adrenal glands in dogs is more often seen with adrenal malignancy.
