1...Obtain the best image possible.
Take the time to completely evacuate the rectum, and use plenty of lube for contact. If your ultrasound system provides variable frequency transducers, remember to operate at the highest frequency that still allows you enough depth to visualize all the pertinent structures; this will optimize the resolution of your image! You’ll acquire a higher quality (and larger!) ovary image scanning at 6cm than you will at 12cm. In addition, become familiar with your equipment; experiment with gain, contrast, and persistence in order to achieve the image that you desire.
EVO Shorts: Store a Video Loop

Saving video clips on your EVO is super simple! And did you know that from your stored loops you can freeze, measure, annotate, and store still frames? This means if you’re in a rush or have an uncooperative patient, you can easily do your analysis at a later time. Be sure to check out all the EVO Shorts videos on our YouTube channels - E.I. Medical Imaging and E.I. Medical Imaging University!

Beyond the ER...

I’ve been thinking a bit lately about a conversation I have frequently with my colleagues. It’s one that questions the need for and the appropriateness of ultrasound use in a general companion animal practice. I repeatedly hear veterinarians bemoaning the time required to learn to perform ultrasound, the expense of implementing it, and the potential liability in interpreting it. They often tell me that they have a “wonderful traveling radiologist/internist” who comes in at a regular interval to conduct ultrasound exams on their accumulated cases.

Discovery of rectal palpation to distinguish features and structures of the female reproductive tract dates back to the 1800’s.
Since then, there has been widespread adoption of this technique as a reproductive tool in the veterinary field to determine various aspects of the cow’s reproductive status. Such aspects pertaining to palpation include uterine manipulation for determining pregnancy status, palpation of ovaries for presence of ovarian structures (i.e. corpus luteum and follicles), and diagnosis of reproductive abnormalities such as abscesses, adhesions, ovarian cysts, etc…

E.I. Medical Imaging's C9OPU-HD transducer is not your average TVA setup—we were the first to introduce a one-piece probe that’s lighter, slimmer, and easier to clean than the old screw-on clamshell handles.
