The use of ultrasonic imaging techniques for diagnostic purposes in
veteri nary medicine and animal science has lagged far behind their
use in human medicine. In the area of domestic animal reproduction,
diagnostic ultrasono graphy has a relatively short history. Reports
on B-mode scanning first appeared as late as 1969, when Stouffer
and co-workers used it for counting foetal numbers in late
gestation sheep. After Lindahl had re-evaluated the potential of
two-dimensional ultrasonography for pregnancy diagnosis in sheep in
1976, results of the first large scale field-trials by Fowler and
Wilkins on predicting foetal numbers during the first half of
gestation in sheep were published as recently as 1980. In this year
also the first paper, by Palmer and co-workers, on ultrasonic
scanning of the uterus and ovaries in the mare appeared. The
improvement of diagnostics which was achieved by the application of
this technique is illustrated by its present routine use in
clinical equine practice and sheep breeding. Besides offe ring an
accurate early pregnancy diagnosis in species such as the horse,
cow, sheep, goat, pig and dog, ultrasonography enables the
visualization of ovarian and uterine structures for the
identification of both physiological and pathological conditions.
In this way it replaces or supplements the more common diagnostic
techniques used by the general practitioner so far. Ultrasonography
has also opened several new lines of research for clini cians and
research workers."
