| Summary: | Introduction: Ultrasound is an affordable and non-invasive technique that provides essential information about the parenchyma of organs and adjacent structures. It is an essential tool in the diagnosis of pancreatic disorders and provides a rapid prognosis. New techniques are being studied to complement the information obtained by conventional ultrasound and contribute to better diagnostic quality. Pancreatitis is an inflammatory condition of the pancreas, the causes and pathophysiology of which remain poorly understood. Objective: To evaluate the ultrasound effectiveness in the diagnosis of pancreatitis in dogs during daily clinical consultation. Methodology: The research is of a non-experimental / descriptive cross-sectional nature, using chi2 statistical analysis, for two variables with measuring scales of 31 canines, with ultrasound diagnostic methods and cPL test. Results: The results of this analysis of 31 samples indicate that both the ultrasound evaluation of the right and left branch of the pancreas have been shown to be effective in the detection of pancreatitis, with positivity rates of 58.83% and 61.29%, respectively. Conclusion: In summary, the results of this study with 31 samples suggest that both ultrasound evaluation of the right and left branch of the pancreas are effective in the detection of pancreatitis. It is noteworthy that there is a strong concordance between the positive samples identified by the ultrasound evaluation of both branches and the positive results obtained by the cPL test.

Introducción: la ecografía es una técnica asequible y no invasiva que proporciona información importante sobre el parénquima de los órganos y las estructuras adyacentes. Es una herramienta esencial en el diagnóstico de los trastornos pancreáticos y proporciona un pronóstico rápido. Cada vez se estudian nuevas técnicas para complementar la información obtenida por el ultrasonido convencional y contribuir a una mejor calidad diagnóstica. La pancreatitis es una ... |
