Abstract

Background

Ceratophrys cranwelli (C. cranwelli) is one of the most commonly kept pet frogs worldwide and may be presented to veterinary clinics for evaluation. However, there is limited imaging data available for ultrasound and computed tomography in this species.

Methods

Ultrasound and computed tomography were utilized to assess the organs of C. cranwelli. A total of 23 captive frogs were used in the experiment, including 3 for pre-experiment and 20 for formal experiment. The pre-experimental group received additional contrast-enhanced angiography in computed tomography. The formal experimental group was divided into 2 groups, 5 males and 5 females in each group. One group received ultrasound examination, and the other group received computed tomography.

Results

Finally, the distribution of organs within the coelom was determined, and the radiation attenuation coefficient of specific tissues and organs were measured. Additionally, describing the size, shape, and echogenicity of the liver, gallbladder, kidneys, spleen, stomach, testes, ovaries, fat bodies, and heart were described.

Conclusions and clinical relevance

This study describes the normal anatomical structure of C. cranwelli and obtains normal imaging data, which provides basic data for this species and can provide some reference for veterinarians.

临床正常克氏囊蝇体腔超声和计算机断层扫描（无尾目：角鼻蝇科）

cranwelli角蛙（C. cranwelli）是世界上最常见的宠物蛙之一，可能会被送到兽医诊所进行评估。然而，超声和计算机断层扫描对该物种的成像数据有限。方法采用超声和计算机断层扫描对克兰韦氏梭菌的脏器进行评估。实验共选取23只圈养蛙，其中预试3只，正试20只。实验前组在计算机断层扫描中额外进行血管造影。正式实验组分为2组，每组男5人，女5人。一组行超声检查，另一组行计算机断层扫描。结果最后确定了体腔内器官的分布，测量了特定组织器官的辐射衰减系数。此外，还描述了肝脏、胆囊、肾脏、脾脏、胃、睾丸、卵巢、脂肪体和心脏的大小、形状和回声。结论及临床意义本研究描述了正常的克兰韦氏囊的解剖结构，获得了正常的影像学资料，为该物种的研究提供了基础资料，可为兽医提供一定的参考。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Exotic Pet Medicine provides clinicians with a convenient, comprehensive, "must have" resource to enhance and elevate their expertise with exotic pet medicine. Each issue contains wide ranging peer-reviewed articles that cover many of the current and novel topics important to clinicians caring for exotic pets. Diagnostic challenges, consensus articles and selected review articles are also included to help keep veterinarians up to date on issues affecting their practice. In addition, the Journal of Exotic Pet Medicine serves as the official publication of both the Association of Exotic Mammal Veterinarians (AEMV) and the European Association of Avian Veterinarians (EAAV). The Journal of Exotic Pet Medicine is the most complete resource for practitioners who treat exotic pets.
