Subaortic stenosis in a 2.9kg, 3-month-old pug dog and a 11 kg, 4-month-old Rott -weiler dog showing signs of dyspnea, tachypnea, anorexia, exercise intolerance and depression was diagnosed with electrocardiography, thoracic radiography and ultrasonographic evaluation. In electrocardiography, PR interval widening, R wave amplitude increase in lead II in case 2, ST segment depression and left axis deviation in case 1 and 2 were identified. In thoracic radiographs, enlarged left ventricle and atrium, caudal displacement of left crus of diaphragm and caudal part of cranial mediastinum widening were identified in ventrodorsal view. In lateral view, left ventricular enlargement, secondary dorsal deviation of trachea and post-stenotic dilation of aorta were seen. Also, edematous pulmonary changes were shown in peri-hilar area. In ultrasonographic examination, left ventricular dilatation, pericardial effusion and subaortic valvular ridge were seen with real time B-mode in right parasternal long axis view. Aortic valve regurgitation was identified in color-Doppler mode.

Background and Objectives： The introduction of highly sensitive imaging techniques has made it possible to detect many non-palpable nodules, or“incidentaloma”in the thyroid. Discovery of these lesions raises concerns about their malignancy, but the optimal strategy for managing these lesions has not been clearly established. This study was designed to evaluate the usefulness of ultrasonographic exam with new diagnostic criteria and presume the value of mass screening for thyroid cancer. Materials and Methods : Mass screening for thyroid cancer were carried out in conjunction with mass screening for breast cancer. The subjects were 630 women aged 30 years or over. Thyroid glands were examined with 10 MHz transducer ultrasonography by one radiologist. Needle aspiration biopsy were performed when suspicious of malignancy under the new diagnostic criteria. Results and Conclusion : The new ultrasonographic criteria to diagnose thyroid cancer provided useful information and ensured more accurate evaluation. 7 cases of thyroid cancer were discovered and successfully managed. It should be further demonstrated that there is sufficient value of mass screening for thyroid cancer to perform it independently despite early cancer detection.

말과 소의 정상 안구내의 구조와 크기를 알아보기 위하여 10마리의 말과 14두의 Holstein 안구를 적출하여 생리식염수내에서 초음파상으로 안구내의 구조를 확인하였으며 각막의 두께, 전방의 깊이, 수정체의 두께, 초자체의 깊이 및 안구축을 측정하였다. 초음파로 측정한 안구를 $-30{\circ}C$ 로 동결한 후 Diamond cutter로 절단하여 caliper로 측정하여 Student-t test로 처리하여 수치를 비교하였다. 초음파상에서 말은 암컷$(35.99{\pm}1.97)과 숫컷(35.94{\pm} 3.36)$, 좌측(36.26)과 우측$(35.67{\pm}2.65)$눈의 크기가 비슷하였으나, 소에서도 좌측$(29.06{\pm} 3.36)과 우측(28.53{\pm} 3.36)$눈의 크기가 비슷하여 통계학적 유의차는 없었다. 본 연구에서는 7.5MHz 초음파기의 B-Mode 방식을 이용하여 말과 소의 안구의 구조를 확인하고 측정하였는데 임상적으로 매우 유용하여 수의안과학에서 적용할수 있는 가치있는 진단법이다.

Ultrasound is a first line examination of the knee and useful diagnostic tool in assessing the various knee lesions. The advantages of ultrasound are that it is non-invasive, easily available at bed side, cheap, well accepted by patients, and that it has technical benefits including dynamic evaluation. Its limitations include reliability, which is largely operator dependent and its inability to evaluate deep structures. Technical guidelines of the ultrasound released by European Society of MusculoSkeletal Radiology (ESSR) and ultrasonographic findings of various knee lesions are described.

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.

Normal ultrasonography of liver, gall bladder, spleen, kidney, urinary bladder, stomach, pylorus, duodenum, and heart of 5 common marmoset(Callithrix jacchus) were determined by use of ultrasonography. One common marmoset was autopsied at the time of euthanasia which is performed 24 hours after ultrasonography, and above mentioned organs were measured actually. In ultrasonography of common marmoset, the gall bladder was 8.2 cm long, and 3.4 cm wide. The width of spleen was 4.3 mm. The right kidney was 22.2 mm long, 16.1 mm wide, and 9.3 deep. The ultrasonographic measurements of the left kidney in calves was similar. The urinary bladder was 8.6 mm long, and 5.0 mm wide.

A hemangiosarcoma in a 30 kg, 6-year-old German Shepherd dog showing signs of abdominal distension, anorexia and depression was diagnosed with clinicopathologic examination, abdominal radiographs and ultrasonographic assessmint. In abdominal radiographs, overall abdominal distension was seen. Stomach and some parts of small intestines were deviated caudo-ventrally by enlarged liver. The splenomegaly was also identified and descending colon was dislocated laterally by splenic mass. In ultrasonographic findings, abdominal fluid was identified. Hepatomegaly was seen and it was consisted of multiple, anechoic cysts. The spleen was enlarged and a large round mass with mixed echo pattern at the mid to tail portion of spleen was identified. Grossly, at necropsy, multi-sized cysts in which contained blood and fibrpus materials and some blood were seen in the cross section and it showed hard consistency. Also, lots of small red tumor nodules were dispersed on the serosal surface of the bladder, omentum, mesentery, diaphragm and peritoneum. In abdominal paracentesis, fluid having almost the same properties as circulating blood was identified. The hemoperitoneum was thought to be resulted from the bleeding into peritoneum owing to the rupture of cystic lesions located on the superficial liver area.

In order to investigate the effects of Gamikyuchoolpajingtang(GMKCPT) and Gamibojungikgitand(GBIKT) on the ovarian tumor, the ultrasonographic appearance were studied in a few patients. the results obtained were follows : 1. The administration of Gamikyuchoolpajingtang(GMKCPT) reduced significantly tumor's size in corpus uteri and uterus. 2. The administration of Gamibojungikgitang(GBIKT) reduced significantly size in the ovarian. 3. The tumors of ovarian and uterus seem to be connected with Seven Emotions. 4. In this study, it is suggested big tumors over 10cm can be treated as herbal prescription. From above findings, it is suggested that Gamikyuchoolpajingtang(GMKCPT) and Gamibojungikgitang(GBIKT) seem to reduce significantly tumor's size.

Ultrasonography is a powerful and useful method for the examination of the various shoulder diseases. The use of high-resolution transducer and technical evolution allowed the improvement of the accuracy of detection of the rotator cuff disease. However, its limitation is that there is marked disparity in the interpretation according to the operators' experience. This article describes the ultrasonographic findings of rotator cuff pathology compared to the MR (magnetic resonance) imaging and arthroscopic findings for helping the interpretation of ultrasonographic picture.
