Description
Summary:Ultrasound elastography provides diagnostic information based on tissue elasticity. There is a lack of specific studies on the application of elastography in canine intestinal assessment. Therefore, we reviewed comparative medicine studies and those referring to the literature listed in the databases. Static and dynamic elastography techniques are widely applied in human intestinal diseases, especially Chron’s disease, but few studies have investigated the application of these modalities in canine enteropathies. This case raises questions about the use of new diagnostic imaging techniques in veterinary gastroenterology and highlights the need for further research. Hence, this study aimed to review the literature on the physical principles of elastography and its clinical application in the intestinal evaluation of dogs.
