X-ray-computed tomography (CT), nephrotomography, and ultrasonography were performed in 10 clinically healthy dogs (weighing 14 to 33 kg) to visualize the adrenal glands. In all 10 dogs, CT enabled visualization of both adrenal glands. Cross-sectional diameter was measured accurately. The size and shape of CT sections of the adrenal glands varied widely because of individual differences in the actual size and shape of the adrenal glands and because of their position in the plane of the CT scans. In 5 dogs, nephrotomography enabled visualization of 1 or both adrenal glands as oblong craniocaudal-directed densities in the craniodorsal portion of the abdomen. In 7 dogs, transverse ultrasonography enabled visualization of 1 or both adrenal glands as round or oval hypoechoic structures in the surrounding hyperechoic fat.
对10只临床健康的犬（体重14至33千克）进行了X线计算机断层扫描（CT）、肾断层扫描和超声检查，以观察肾上腺。在所有10只犬中，CT能够观察到双侧肾上腺。准确测量了横断面直径。由于肾上腺实际大小和形状的个体差异以及它们在CT扫描平面中的位置，肾上腺CT断面的大小和形状差异很大。在5只犬中，肾断层扫描能够观察到1个或双侧肾上腺，表现为位于腹部颅背侧的、沿头腹向走行的椭圆形密度影。在7只犬中，横向超声检查能够观察到1个或双侧肾上腺，表现为周围高回声脂肪中圆形或椭圆形的低回声结构。
