Abstract:
The aim of this work is to throw more light on using some recent techniques as ultrasound, computed tomography (CT), and contrast radiography in examination of the kidney of Balady rabbit. The current work was carried out on 23adult healthy Balady rabbits. Topographical, morphometrical and radiographical examination on kidneys were occurred. Ultrasonographically, the animal was examined in both dorsal and lateral recumbency. Both kidneys were scanned in longitudinal and transverse planes. The different ultrasonographic measurements of both kidneys were recorded. The rabbit was positioned in ventral recumbency and CT images were taken without contrast medium using multi-slices CT system. The right kidney was slightly anterior to the level of left one by its length. The right lobe of liver separated the right kidney from the stomach cranially. The left kidney was separated from the stomach and spleen with the ascending duodenum and jejunum. By contrast radiographs, both kidneys appeared clearly as dense soft tissues with distinct borders against the neighboring vertebrae and ribs. In the longitudinal ultrasonographic scanning plane, the medulla revealed anechoic nearly circular areas represented the peri-pelvic columns which separated by hyperechoic secondary septa. The main pelvic septum appeared hyperechoic. We could easily distinguish between the cortex and medulla in both longitudinal and transverse scanning plane. Therefore, we hope to contribute to clinic and histopathological diagnosis of kidney diseases.
