Abstract

This study was delineated to explore the possibility of using three-dimensional ultrasonography in small animal practice. In a 6-year-old pregnant beagle bitch with eight feti, we tried to visualize the feti faces with three-dimensional ultrasonography by scanning with a transabdominal three-dimensional probe every two to three days until parturition. At each date of examination, Three-dimensional sonographic images of the feti faces were obtained in at least one fetus. However, as fetal development progressed, it became more difficult to obtain good quality images. We were able to obtain clear and sharp three-dimensional images of the fetal faces easily on day 43 and 45 post breeding. The present results suggest that three-dimensional ultrasonography is a convenient tool to supplement conventional two-dimensional ultrasonography and might be useful for the small animal practitioners as long as used properly.
