Diseases of the liver

Area of Science:

• Veterinary Medicine
• Diagnostic Imaging
• Equine Health

Background:

• Accurate assessment of equine liver health is crucial for diagnosis and treatment.
• Non-invasive imaging techniques are essential for evaluating internal organs in horses.

Purpose of the Study:

• To highlight the diagnostic value of ultrasonography for equine liver evaluation.
• To demonstrate how liver imaging aids in guided biopsy procedures.

Main Methods:

• Utilizing ultrasonography to assess liver size, shape, position, and texture in horses.
• Correlating imaging findings with clinical conditions.

Main Results:

• Ultrasonography allows for detailed characterization of the equine liver.
• Imaging provides critical information for diagnosing conditions like cholelithiasis, neoplasia, and fibrosis.

Conclusions:

• Ultrasonography is a valuable tool for equine liver diagnostics.
• Liver imaging enhances diagnostic capabilities and supports interventional procedures.
