Abstract

The present research aims to visualize and follow the arterial and venous blood vessels pattern and to detect the circulatory phases of the canine spleen. Six dogs included in the study were examined with conventional and contrast ultrasonography using SonoVue® (Bracco International B.V., Nederland) contrast agent. The main arterial and venous vessels were observed. The timing of the different circulatory phases was detected and showed that the contrast–enhanced ultrasonography of the canine spleen should be carried out immediately after the introduction of the contrast agent and should be performed not later than the 3rd minute.
