title: [The use of sonography in the andrologic diagnosis in bulls, pathologic changes and false artifacts].
abstract: The real-time ultrasonography is a tool for producing additional information to the clinical andrological examination in bulls. To find out the significance and the limits of this techniques these experiments have been carried out. In the testicles of slaughtered bulls artefacts were produced by injecting either crystalline, metallic or aqueous solutions respectively. The effect of metallic or crystalline solutions are good to be seen whereas water or gas are giving not so clear echograms. In the second part of the experiment 100 pairs of testicles where examined and compared to in situ examinations and histological preparations. In 95 cases of the examined animals pathological findings became evident both by sonographic examination and histologically, alterations that must be at least regarded as suspicious with respect to bulls to be used for reproduction.
