Kısraklarda Ultrasonografik Uterus Ekotekstür Değerlendirmesinde Erken Gebe ve Endometriyal Kist Ayrımı
Sunulan çalışma kısraklarda erken gebelik ile endometriyal kistli uterusun ultrasonografik görüntüsünün bilgisayar destekli analiz programları ile ayrımını ortaya koymak amacıyla yapıldı. Çalışmada erken gebe ve endometriyal kistli olmak üzere toplam 124 safkan Arap kısrak kullanıldı. Kısraklar erken gebelik dönemlerine (Grup I, n=12 (13 günlük gebelik); Grup II, n=15 (14 günlük gebelik); Grup III, n=29 (15 günlük gebelik); Grup IV, n=17 (16 günlük gebelik); Grup V, n=12 (17 günlük gebelik) ve endometriyal kist (Grup VI, n=39) olmak üzere altı gruba ayrıldı. Ultrasonografik muayene sırasında kaydedilen ve daha sonra bilgisayara aktarılan uterus görüntülerinin ortalama gri değeri (MGV), heterojenitesi (HET) ve kontrastı (CON) ölçüldü. Ekotekstür parametrelerinden MGV değeri gebe kısraklarda (sırasıyla; 55.20±4.95, 58.31±3.88, 56.23±1.88, 54.15±3.47 ve 56.08±2.94), endometrial kistli kısraklardan (42.71±0.71) daha yüksekti (P
Discrimination of Early Pregnancy and Endometrial Cyst by Ultrasonographic Assessment of Uterine Echotexture in Mares
The present study was performed to demonstrate the tissue differentiation of uterine ultrasonographic image by computer assisted analysisprograms in mares with endometrial cyst and early pregnancy. A total of 124 thoroughbred Arabian mares were used in the study, with earlypregnancy and endometrial cyst. Mares were divided into six groups according to stage of early pregnancy (Group I, n=12 (13th day pregnancy);Group II, n=15 (14th day pregnancy); Group III, n=29 (15th day pregnancy); Group IV, n=17 (16th day pregnancy); Group V, n=12 (17th day pregnancy)and as endometrial cysts (Group VI, n=39). The mean gray value (MGV), heterogeneity (HET) and contrast (CON) of the uterine images that wererecorded during ultrasound scan were measured through computer assisted program. The MGV values of the echotexture parameters weresignificantly higher in the pregnant mare (55.20±4.95, 58.31±3.88, 56.23±1.88, 54.15±3.47 and 56.08±2.94, respectively) than the endometrialcyst mares (42.71±0.71) (P
