摘要
(1) 背景:超声衰减成像(ATI)是一种创新技术,可通过简单、无创的方式评估肝脏实质的脂质浸润程度。本研究的目的是验证 ATI 方法在评估高脂血症中的适用性。(2)方法:本研究纳入了 2021 年 1 月至 2022 年 12 月期间的 53 只犬,其中 21 只为健康犬(A 组),32 只为高脂血症犬(B 组)。B 组犬分为轻度高脂血症(B1;n = 15)和中度/重度高脂血症(B2;n = 17)。每只狗都接受了生化检查、B 型超声波检查和经右肋间入路的肝脏水平 ATI 检查。(3) 结果:B 组的平均 AC 值(0.95 ± 0.23 dB/cm/MHz)明显高于 A 组(0.81 ± 0.10 dB/cm/MHz)。轻度和中度/重度高脂血症受试者之间的 ATI 值无明显统计学差异。(4) 结论:ATI 是兽医学中一种很有前景的非侵入性肝脏脂肪变性评估方法。
Evaluation of Liver Parenchyma in Dogs with Hyperlipidemia Using Ultrasound Attenuation Imaging (ATI).
(1) Background: Ultrasound attenuation imaging (ATI) is an innovative technique that allows for the evaluation of the degree of lipid infiltration of the liver parenchyma in a simple and non-invasive way. The objective of this study was to verify the applicability of the ATI method in the evaluation of hyperlipidemia. (2) Methods: This study included 53 dogs between January 2021 and December 2022, of which 21 were healthy (A) and 32 had hyperlipidemia (B). The dogs of Group B were divided into mild hyperlipidemic (B1; n = 15) and moderate/severe hyperlipidemic (B2; n = 17). Each dog underwent biochemical examination, B-mode ultrasound and ATI investigation at the liver level via a right intercostal approach. (3) Results: The mean AC value was significantly higher in Group B (0.95 ± 0.23 dB/cm/MHz) compared to Group A (0.81 ± 0.10 dB/cm/MHz). No statistically significant differences were highlighted regarding the ATI values between the subjects with mild and moderate/severe hyperlipidemia. (4) Conclusion: ATI could be a promising method for the non-invasive evaluation of hepatic steatosis in veterinary medicine.
