Abstract
Aim:
The objective of the study was to obtain and compare the
two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) ultrasonographic
images of pathological conditions of the stomach in dogs in
clinical cases.
Materials and Methods: In our study, 12 clinical conditions of
the stomach were recorded using ultrasonography. The ultrasound
machine used for this study was 3D ultrasound machine (Nemio-XG:
Toshiba, Japan) having four-dimensional volumetric transducer.
Results: Present study was done to compare 2D and 3D
ultrasonographic images in different gastric affections in dogs.
In case of uremic gastropathy due to inflammatory response, the
wall of the stomach was 0.6 cm thick and hyperechoic and gastric
folds were also hyperechoic indicative of gastritis. In second,
third, and fourth case of gastritis the wall of the stomach was
0.7, 0.6, and 0.55 cm, respectively thick and hyperechoic. In
fifth and sixth case of gastritis, inflammatory response due to
ingestion of polythene and sand led to gastritis and
ultrasonographically, the wall of the stomach was 0.6 cm and 0.7
cm thick, respectively, and hyperechoic. In case of gastric ulcer,
ultrasonographically, there was a disruption of gastric mucosal
layer. In cases of gastric dilatation, anechoic content indicating
fluid was seen in stomach area and due to dilatation boundary of
the stomach was not clear and the increase in the lumen of the
stomach was observed. In case of foreign body,
ultrasonographically the wall of the stomach was 0.55 cm thick and
hyperechoic. In the middle of the stomach, multiple hyperechoic
shadows of the foreign bodies i.e. leather and bunch of straw of
grass were observed. In case of pyloric stenosis
ultrasonographically, anechoic lumen of the pylorus surrounded by
0.5 cm hypoechoic thickened muscle. In some cases, 3D
ultrasonography was not diagnostic i.e. gastric foreign bodies and
gastric dilatation. These conditions were better visualized on the
2D sonogram.
Conclusion: The appearance of clinical conditions of the
stomach such as gastritis and pyloric stenosis were more distinct
on 3D ultrasonogram than 2D ultrasonogram. The 3D ultrasonography
was not diagnostic in cases of gastric foreign bodies and gastric
dilatation.
Keywords: dogs, gastritis, gastric
dilatation, gastric foreign bodies, gastric ulcer,
