A current review of ultrasonographic adrenal imaging is presented with emphasis on the clinical and problematic aspects of adrenal disease in the dog. Examples are presented to illustrate the usefulness of ultrasonography in distinguishing between canine pituitary- and adrenal-dependent hyperadrenocorticism. Adrenal imaging in the cat and ferret are discussed briefly. When coordination of sonographic findings with clinical and biochemical results is implemented properly, ultrasonography becomes a powerful and specific diagnostic tool for adrenal disease.
本文对肾上腺超声成像进行了综述，重点关注犬肾上腺疾病的临床和问题方面。文中给出了实例，以说明超声检查在区分犬垂体依赖性和肾上腺依赖性肾上腺皮质功能亢进方面的作用。还简要讨论了猫和雪貂的肾上腺成像。当超声检查结果与临床和生化结果正确结合时，超声检查就成为诊断肾上腺疾病的有力且特异的工具。
