Preliminary ultrasonography study of the pancreas in the dromedary camel (Camelus dromedarius) by El Hassania Lakhel, Khalid El Allali, Mohamed Rachid Achaâban, Rahma Azrib

“…The pancreatic major duct was seen as an anechoic circle with a hyperechoic wall, with a maximum diameter of 1 cm, and the left lobe scanned beneath the cranial extremity of the spleen; its ultrasonographic pattern showed an irregular hypoechoic band with a mean thickness of 2.32 ± 0.32 cm (n = 14) in young camels and 3.08 ± 0.52 cm (n = 8) in the adults, including a small splenic vein.ConclusionUltrasonography combined with Doppler techniques provides valuable information on pancreatic health, blood flow, and tissue perfusion, aiding early detection of pancreatic diseases and, consequently, minimizing economic losses in camel husbandry.…”

“…In an individual CoW, arteries might be absent (aplasia) or underdeveloped (hypoplasia, diameter < 1 mm). As the assessment of such variations is time-consuming and susceptible to subjectivity, robust automatic extraction of personalized CoW topology from time-of-flight magnetic resonance angiography (TOF-MRA) images would highly benefit large-scale clinical investigations. …”
