The study is to measure a variation of exposed dose on genital glands (ovary, testis) which are exposed to radiation during the defecography to diagnosis domain according to use of filters and to look into its utility. whose results are as follows: The measured values of dose were the left ovary 23.4mGy, the right ovary 7.5mGy, the testis 10.3mGy in case of not using filter at all, the left ovary 22.4mGy the right ovary 7.0mGy, the testis 9.5mGy in case of using an additional filter only, the left ovary 26.7mGy, the right ovary 8.4mGy, the testis 11.5mGy in case of using a defeco filter only and the left ovary 20.5mGy, the right ovary 6.2mGy, the testis 7.5mGy in case of using both an additional filter and a defeco filter, respectively. When comparing with the value in case of not using filter at all, the dose to the left ovary decreased by 10%, the dose to right ovary by 5% and the testis by 8% respectively in case of using an additional filter only. While the dose to the left ovary increased by 33%, the dose to right ovary by 9% and the testis by 12% respectively gonad a defeco filter only. And in case of using both an additional filter and a defeco filter, the dose to the left ovary decreased by 29%, the dose to right ovary by 13% and the testis by 28% respectively. In other words, the dose increased in case of using a defeco filter only while the dose decreased markedly on the rest conditions such as using an additional filter only, using a defeco filter only and using both an additional filter and a defeco filter.

A four-week-old female Scottish Fold cat weighting 0.6 kg was admitted for vaccination. During the physical examination, the liquid feces were observed from the vulva and the anus was imperforate. The location of a narrow fistula and distended colon were identified on the contrast radiography. Definitive diagnosis was made as type III atresia ani with rectovaginal fistula. Anal reconstruction and ligation of the fistula were successfully undertaken to treat atresia ani. After surgery, the cat was treated with lactulose and a special diet consisting of high fiber was fed to increase digestibility. The cat was able to control defecation after 2 weeks post-operation. There was no complication for 8 months after surgery.

Colorectal cancer produce focal mass or segmental thickening which can be detected with sonography. The purpose of this study was to describe sonographic findings of colorectal cancer. we reviewed sonograms of 51 patients with colorectal cancer in whom sonography was performed before colon study. In 51 patients who had more common coloretal cancer 27cases(53%) had 40 to 50 years of age(60%). Sonographic findings included segmental thickening 42cases, or irregular mass 9 cases. With careful examination, these findings can be detectable, and therefore bowel should be carefully examination in patients with sign and symptoms suggesting carcinoma of the colon and rectum.

A 12-year-old neutered male Shih Tzu presented with constipation and dyschezia. Abdominal radiographs showed distension of the descending colon and dorsal compression of the colon by a soft tissue mass. The mass was well-marginated with homogeneous soft tissue attenuation and showed no evidence of metastasis on computed tomography (CT). The dynamic CT showed a consistently mild contrast enhancement. The perfusion and capillary permeability were lower than those of the gluteal muscle. The tentative imaging diagnosis was a benign intrapelvic tumor, which rarely shows angiogenesis. The mass was excised, and a leiomyoma was confirmed by histopathologic examination.
