Abstract

The purpose of this study is to construct fundamental information about the ultrasonographic diagnosis for extrinsic and intrinsic abdominal disease. Normal ultrasonography of liver, gall bladder, spleen, kidney, urinary bladder, stomach, pylorus, duodenum, and heart of 4 cynomolgus monkey(Macaca fascicularis) were determined by use of ultrasonography. One cynomolgus monkey was autopsied at the time of euthanasia which is performed 24 hours after ultrasonography, and above mentioned organs were measured actually. In ultrasonography of cynomolgus monkey, the gall bladder was 17.5 cm long, and 6.6 cm wide. The width of spleen was 8.8 mm. The right kidney was 35.5 mm long, 23.7 mm wide, and 15.2 mm deep. The ultrasonographic measurements of the left kidney in calves was similar. The urinary bladder was 27.7 mm long, and 20.5 mm wide.
