Histological definition for the gray scale ultrasonography of the rabbit liver
Abstract
The aim of the present study is to prove that the morphological and histological features of the rabbit liver are base for the creation of proper anatomical US image. For the purpose, we use 12 clinically healthy New White Zealand rabbits. In the histological study, we use the routine staining with Hematoxylin/Eosin. The US study was carried out with ultrasonic equipment for 2D visualization. The US image of the rabbit liver was produced by the different acoustic impedance of the tissues, which composed the organ. The variability of the grey and white nuances when observing the anatomical US image of the rabbit liver is produced by its histological features. It is not relative to the orientation of the transducer to the field of study. There was a variability of the US acoustics of the liver at the same intensity of the US wave. This is also owing to the histological features of the liver and biliary ducts. US visualization of the rabbit liver is because of the dispersion character of the echo-signal, generated by parenchyma, perivascular connective tissue and extrahepatic biliary ducts. The different acoustics of capsula fibrosa and liver parenchyma is related to the following US indices: brightness and contrast, in accordance to the grey-white scale, a variety of the grey nuance and speed of the US wave. We present the following conclusion: The US morphological character of the studied organ is defined by its histological features. These histological features of the liver could be accepted as “Golden standard”, because they define the US anatomical visualization of the organ.
