Disorders of the pancreas occur frequently, but they are difficult to diagnose because of anatomic inaccessibility of the pancreas, vague clinical signs and examination findings, and inconsistent laboratory results. Ultrasonography is the imaging modality of choice to evaluate the pancreas. Ultrasonographic examination of the pancreas is difficult due to ultrasound wave propagation interference by adjacent bowel gas, abdominal pain accompanying pancreatitis, and inability to image the normal pancreas consistently. These three problems can be overcome by adhering to a systematic scanning method, proper transducer selection, and proper patient preparation. Scanning techniques used to image the pancreas, and ultrasonographic findings of canine and feline pancreatitis and canine pancreatic neoplasia, are explained.
胰腺疾病经常发生，但由于胰腺解剖位置难以接近、临床体征和检查结果不明确以及实验室结果不一致，很难进行诊断。超声检查是评估胰腺的首选成像方式。由于相邻肠气对超声波传播的干扰、胰腺炎伴随的腹痛以及无法持续对正常胰腺成像，胰腺的超声检查存在困难。通过坚持系统的扫描方法、选择合适的换能器以及对患者进行适当的准备，可以克服这三个问题。本文解释了用于胰腺成像的扫描技术，以及犬猫胰腺炎和犬胰腺肿瘤的超声检查结果。
