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.

Soft Tissue Image of the Month:

This clip is from a 9 year old feline DSH (F/S) examined for renal disease.
This lesion was noted on her liver.This lesion is most consistent with a biliary cystadenoma, the most common feline hepatic neoplasia. It is a benign tumor, and is characterized by numerous cystic components, often with acoustic enhancement.
While benign, these tumors can increase in size, and be single or multiple.

Echo Image of the Month: Video

These are images of a left cranial transverse view of the left atrial appendage - LAA (also called auricle) in the cat.

Pulsed Wave (PW) Doppler is used to record auricular filling and emptying blood flow velocities. The PW gate is placed at the perceived junction of left atrial appendage and left atrial chamber. The spectral flow profile will be upward as blood flows into the auricle and downward as blood leaves the auricle.

Flow velocities below .25 m/s are suggestive of sluggish blood flow and the risk of thrombus development is high.

The left cranial view of the atrial appendage lines the Doppler cursor up best with the direction of flow.
