Echo Image of the Month:

This plateau shaped spectral Doppler flow profile is characteristic of pulmonary insufficiency.

Answer these questions:

1. What does the early peak diastolic pressure gradient (yellow arrow) represent?
*This represents mean pulmonary artery pressure.

2. What does the end diastolic (blue arrow) represent?
*This represents diastolic pulmonary artery pressure.

3. What imaging plane(s) can this be obtained from?
*Any of the pulmonary artery images that show a pulmonary insufficiency jet that lines up with the Doppler cursor. The PA itself does not need to line up with the cursor, just the insufficiency.

4. What are normal PA pressures?
*Normal mean PA pressure is mid teens. Normal diastolic PA pressure is less than 10 mm Hg.

**Soft Tissue Image of the Month**
What is the name and significance of the lesion indicated by the arrow on this sagittal image of the right side of the liver?
This is a target lesion (nodule with a hypoechoic rim and hyperechoic center). This lesion is typically associated with malignancy, either primary or metastatic. The finding of one or more target lesion in the liver or spleen has a positive predictive value for malignancy of 74%. The finding of multiple target lesions in one organ has a positive predictive value of 81%. Note that a target lesion can occasionally be seen with benign lesions (nodular hyperplasia, pyogranulomatous hepatitis, cirrhosis, and chronic hepatitis. A fine needle aspirate should be done to confirm the diagnosis.

Soft Tissue Case of the Month: A 9 year old M/N Weimaraner presented for hematuria and stranguria. A sagittal ultrasound (still image) image, along with a transverse video of the prostate are shown. What is your diagnosis? The prostate is enlarged for a neutered male. Multiple hyperechoic foci are present throughout both prostatic lobes, consistent with mineralization. Given this appearance, prostatic neoplasia (carcinoma) is the most likely diagnosis, and was confirmed on a fine needle aspirate of the prostate. Regarding prostatic neoplasia, mineralization in neutered dogs had a positive predictive value (PPV) of 100%. Reference Bradbury CA, Westropp JL, Pollard RE. Relationship between prostatomegaly, prostatic mineralization, and cytologic diagnosis. Vet Rad & US 2009, 50; 167-171

Soft Tissue Image of the Month This is a sagittal image of the right limb of the pancreas in a 6 year old canine mix. The pancreas is dorsal to the descending duodenum. What is your diagnosis? Pancreatic edema The anechoic “stripes” represent fluid between pancreatic lobules. Pancreatic edema is often present with acute pancreatitis, but can also be seen with hypoproteinemia and portal hypertension. #wavveted #veterinary #veterinaryradiology

Echo Image of the Month This is a right parasternal long axis inflow outflow view in a cat. The arrow is pointing at SAM - systolic anterior mitral valve motion. Although SAM is associated with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy there are other things to consider. Answer these questions: 1. Does SAM always mean outflow obstruction? Yes 2. Is HOCM the only disease SAM is seen in? No 3. In what other situations can we see SAM? Systolic anterior motion is a significant finding in patients with right-sided heart disease, volume contraction, and hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy.This phenomenon often indicates some degree of obstruction to blood flow, with potential causes including the Venturi effect, improper papillary muscle alignment, and mitral dysplasia. Understanding SAM is crucial for effective diagnosis and management of related cardiac conditions. #waveveted #veterinarymedicine #veterinarycardiology

Happening now! SMALL ANIMAL SOFT TISSUE IMMERSION CLASS Session 1: Oct 9 - 12 Session 2: Nov 13 - 15 Session 3: Dec 11 - 13 The objective of this program is for the attendee to become a proficient, confident soft tissue sonographer, by immersing them in soft tissue ultrasound over a 3 month period. The student will be with us for 4 days in session 1, and 3 days in sessions 2 and 3. Each session is approximately 1 month apart. Each session will build upon the prior session. Knobs, measurements, labeling, scan technique of the abdomen, scanning protocol, artifacts, normal and abnormals, disease processes, and aspirate and biopsy technique will be taught.

Small Animal CARDIAC IMMERSION Program: Comprised of 4 Sessions with 24 CE hours per Session Session 1: Sept 23 - 25 Session 2: Nov 18 - 21 Session 3: Jan 28 - 31 Session 4: March 5 - 7 www.waveveted.com This program is designed to meet the growing demand for veterinarians to become competent in the acquisition, measurement, interpretation, and reporting of diagnostic cardiac ultrasound exams in patients with acquired heart disease. Veterinarians will learn how to systematically interpret studies and prepare a comprehensive report. This program is also appropriate for Veterinary Technicians to develop the skills necessary to obtain and measure a complete echocardiographic examination appropriate for review by a supervising veterinarian or reading service. #wavevet #veterinarian #ultrasound #dvm #vet #esaote #vetmedicine
