Ultrasonography of adrenal glands in normal and hyperadrenocorticoid dogs

Ultrasonography has become an important imaging modality for the evaluation of small structures, such as adrenal glands, because it is relatively inexpensive, it is non-invasive and it does not require general anesthesia. Both normal and abnormal small structures can be seen, though this depends to a great extent on the quality of the equipment and the operator skills. Adrenal glands of normal and hyperadrenocorticoid dogs were examined ultrasonographically and results discussed.
