Abstract

Ultrasound is used to diagnose a variety of
diseases in veterinary medicine. In particular, many veterinary teaching
hospitals in the world are routinely used imaging method in limb disorder of
cattle. The most common 5.0-7.5 MHz linear or convex ultrasound probes are used
for the joints. The most important advantage is the patients and physicians can
not create a hazard to, quick and easy to apply, lack ionizing and does not
penetrate the tissues. Also, follow the appropriate treatment and control of my
activities with other radiological methods has proven its superiority.
Articular and periarticular swelling can be examined and made the distinction
between chronic and acute arthritis with Ultrasonography. The main
disadvantage; according to the physician that it has varying subjectivity.

Sığırlarda Eklem Hastalıklarının Tanısında Ultrasonografik Muayene

Abstract

Ultrasonografi veteriner hekimlikte birçok sistemde hastalıkların
tanısında kullanılmaktadır. Özellikle son dönemlerde veteriner eğitim
hastanelerinde sığırların ektremite bozukluklarında tanı amacıyla rutin
uygulanan görüntüleme yöntemlerinden biridir. Eklemlerin ultrasonografisi için
en sık 5.0-7.5 MHz’lik linear veya convex problar kullanılmaktadır. Hasta ve hekim
açısından tehlike oluşturmaması, çabuk ve kolay uygulanması, iyonizan olmaması
ve dokulara nüfuz etmemesi ultrasonografinin en önemli avantajlarıdır. Ayrıca,
uygulanan sağaltımın etkinliğinin takip ve kontrol edilmesi ile diğer
radyolojik yöntemlere göre üstünlüğünü kanıtlamıştır. Ultrasonografi ile
artiküler ve periartiküler şişkinlikler muayene edilebilirken, akut ve kronik
artritislerin ayırımı yapılabilir. Başlıca dezavantajı ise; uygulayan hekime
göre değişen subjektiviteye sahip olmasıdır.
