2D Ultrasound Intraocular measurements in Cashmere Markhoz goats

摘要

Sadi F., 2D Ultrasound Intraocular measurements in Cashmere Markhoz goats, Onl J Vet Res., 21(7):367-372, 2017. Authors report ocular structures and measurements in twenty five 12 to 18 month old cashmere Markhoz goats. Two-Dimensional ultrasonographic images were captured with a 8-12 MHz linear probe in the sagittal plane. Images showed that anechoic areas of the globe were similar to that of the bovine and ovine. The fine regular and homogeneous echo texture of the aqueous humor was similar to thatof the horse, dog, bovine and ovine. The anterior chamber was homogenous with anechoic areas filled with aqueous fluids with velocity similar to water. Axial globe length was 20.1 ± 0.3mm, anterior chamber depth 1.95 ± 0.16mm, vitreous chamber depth 9.80 ± 0.15mm, sclera retinal rim thickness 1.55 ± 0.07mm, lens and corneal thickness 0.55 ± 0.01mm and 7.69 ± 0.25mm, respectively. No Significant Difference (P>0.05) was found between the measurements taken from the right and left eyes of Markhoz goat. The reference data may be useful for diagnoses of ocular abnormalities in this goat.
