title: [The diagnostic value of sonography in the clinical picture of pyometra in the dog].
abstract: Experiences of the diagnostic value of ultrasonography of pyometra in the bitch are reported. The different ultrasound scans of the uterus are illustrated. Results are compared with clinical diagnosis and pathophysiological findings after laparotomy and surgical removal of the uteri. Very close correlation (r: 0.985, p < 0.001) was found between the postoperative macroscopic and the ultrasound scan measurements of the uterus. Accuracy of the ultrasound diagnosis and reasons for false and questionable results are discussed. In summary, ultrasonography is an accurate procedure for the qualitative and quantitative examination and diagnosis of canine pyometra.
