Examination of equine udder and teat by B-Mode ultrasonography

Araştırmada 18 kısrağa ait 36 meme sarnıcı ve 36 meme başı kullanıldı. Ultrasonografik muayeneler yapıldığında kısrakların tümü laktasyonun farklı evrelerindeydi. Memelerin muayenesi 5 ve 7.5 MHz frekanslı prob ile çalışan B-mode real time linear array taşınabilir ultrasonografı cihazı ile, prob direkt memeye temas ettirilerek ya da meme su banyosu içinde iken yapıldı. Muayene sırasında prob vertikal ve horizontal olarak uygulandı. Meme başının, vertikal olarak yapılan muayenesinde, meme başı duvarının üç farklı tabakaya sahip olduğu belirlendi. İçi sütle dolu olan sinus papillarisler ise anekojen olarak saptandı. Sinus papillaris'i ikiye ayıran septum hiperekojen bir şerit tarzında, ductus papillarisler ise anekojen olarak belirlendi. Fürstenberg rozeti ductus papillaris ve sinus papillaris arasında hiperekojen bir katman olarak, ostium papillareler ise hiperekojen katmanlar arasında anekojen ince çizgiler halinde görüldü. Meme lobunun ultrasonografik muayenesinde, meme parenşimi homojen hiperekojenik görüntüler verdi. Ductus lactiferuslar ve sinus lactiferuslar hiperekojen meme parenşiminin içinde anekojen olarak saptandı.

Kısraklarda memenin ve meme başının B-Mode ultrasonografi ile muayenesi

Eighteen multiparous mares with 36 mammary lobes and 36 teats were used. All of the mares were lactating at various stages during ultrasound examinations. Ultrasonographic examinations of the mammary gland and teat were performed by using a portable, B-mode, real time ultrasound scanner equipped with 5 and 7.5 MHz linear array probes either directly touching the mammary skin or using a water bath. During the examinations, the ultrasound probe was moved vertically and horizontally. The wall of the teat consists of three distinct layers. The teat sinus filled with milk was monitored as anechoic images. Ultrasound examinations revealed that septum, which divides teat sinus, elongates as a hyperechoic line. Furthermore, the papillary duct was monitored as an anechoic image. Furstenberg's rosette was determined as an hyperechoic line. Also, the ostium papillare was found as anechoic, thin lines among hyperechoic lines. Ultrasonographic examinations of the mammary lobes revealed the parenchyma of the mammary gland as homogeneous and hyperechoic image. Moreover, ductus lactiferouses and sinus lactiferouses were observed anechoic in hyperechoic mammary parenchyma.
