Synopsis

Gastrointestinal System Ultrasonography in Small Animals is a comprehensive, practical guide designed for veterinary clinicians, students, and imaging specialists seeking to master the ultrasound evaluation of the feline and canine gastrointestinal (GI) tract. It equips readers with the knowledge and skills needed to confidently diagnose and interpret a wide range of GI conditions using ultrasonography. The book systematically examines the esophagus, stomach, small and large intestines, rectum, and anus, providing clear protocols for patient preparation, scanning techniques, and artifact management. Each organ is presented with an anatomical overview, expected normal ultrasonographic features, and detailed discussions of common pathological conditions, including neoplasia, inflammation, obstruction, and cysts. Variations in appearance by breed, age, and physiological state are also covered to enhance diagnostic accuracy across diverse clinical cases. Beyond primary GI structures, the text includes a dedicated section on adjacent and accessory organs—such as the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, spleen, lymph nodes, and peritoneum—that are often assessed during GI studies. Their inclusion broadens the diagnostic scope of abdominal ultrasound and supports a more comprehensive clinical approach. Interpretation guidelines are integrated throughout, encouraging readers to correlate sonographic findings with clinical signs, patient history, and laboratory results. This synthesis facilitates effective differential diagnoses, helps determine when further diagnostics (e.g., biopsy, fine needle aspiration) are warranted, and informs appropriate treatment decisions. Whether the goal is to identify gastrointestinal abnormalities or perform routine screening, this guide provides the clarity and confidence necessary for accurate evaluations. Practical tips on probe selection, patient positioning, and real-time image acquisition help avoid common pitfalls and improve diagnostic efficiency.
