  • Title: Technique for transrectal ultrasonography of the cranial mesenteric artery of the horse.
    Author: Wallace KD, Selcer BA, Becht JL.
    Journal: Am J Vet Res; 1989 Oct; 50(10):1695-8. PubMed ID: 2679248.
    Abstract:
    Transrectal ultrasonography was successfully used to image the cranial mesenteric artery and its branches in 23 adult horses. The artery could be imaged from its origin at the aorta distally to identify several bifurcations. The method for transrectal imaging of the cranial mesenteric artery and its major branches required 3 distinct transducer positions. One position was used to locate the cranial mesenteric artery by imaging the caudal portion of the aorta from the aortic bifurcation cranially to the level of the cranial mesenteric artery. The second position was used to image the origin of the cranial mesenteric artery. The third position was used to image the major branches of the cranial mesenteric artery.
