Elastografia acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI), doppler e ultrassonografia contrastada do baço canino

Abstract

O baço é um órgão que desenvolve inúmeras funções importantes no organismo e é um dos principais locais para o desenvolvimento de tumores primários, metastáticos e afecções do sistema hematopoiético, por isso realizar uma avaliação apurada neste órgão é de suma importância, em Medicina veterinária, particularmente em cães devido à importância econômica, afetiva e de similaridade cientifica para o homem. Todavia, a maioria dos métodos utilizados para o diagnóstico conclusivo de enfermidades esplênicas são métodos invasivos, sendo que os nãos invasivos perdem em sensibilidade e especificidade, dificultando que se proceda a um correto diagnóstico. Sendo assim, este estudo prospectivo visou avaliar a aplicabilidade das novas técnicas ultrassonográficas para avaliação esplênica de caninos, utilizando a elastografia ARFI (qualitativa e quantitativa), Doppler e ultrassonografia por contraste com microbolhas, com o intuito de determinar valores ainda não descritos na veterinária, as quais forneçam subsídios suficientes para se obter um diagnóstico conclusivo sobre a condição esplênica, nesta espécie. Os resultados obtidos nos cães saudáveis, por meio da ultrassonografia modo B apresentaram-se normais, sendo que na elastografia qualitativa, as porções esplênicas avaliadas apresentaram-se não deformáveis, com parênquima homogêneo de cor cinza escuro (hard). Na elastografia quantitativa os valores médios da velocidade de cisalhamento foram de 2,32 m/s para a cabeça, 2,16 m/s para o corpo e 2,25 m/s para a cauda do baço, não apresentando diferença estatística (P > 0,05). Ao exame contrastado, foram avaliados animais com erliquiose na fase subclínica, e estes apresentaram ao exame modo-B, esplenomegalia com presença de bordas arredondadas, ecotextura heterogênea e ecogenicidade mista do baço. Ao Doppler, verificou-se valores para os índices vasculares da artéria esplênica: velocidade sistólica: 22,59 ± 8,07 cm/s; velocidade diastólica: 5,25 ± 4,66 cm/s; e índice de resistência: 0,71 ± 0,14. Pela ultrassonografia com contraste observaram-se valores para wash-in de 5,31 ± 0,7s, pico de realce de 18,56 ± 2,90s e wash-out: 94,56 ± 35,21s. A elastografia ARFI é um método recente que pode fornecer dados de base para o baço e permitir a utilização futura desta técnica, na avaliação de cães com doença esplênica. A ultrassonografia convencional do baço de cães com erliquiose associado com a utilização do método Doppler e ultrassonografia contrastada são importantes ferramentas na triagem diagnóstica e podem auxiliar a monitoração e evolução de animais na fase subclínica.

The spleen is an organ develops much important functions in the body and the spleen is one of the main organs prone to the development of primary tumors, metastasis and a broad range of diseases of the hematopoietic system perform assessment of spleen is important. In veterinary medicine, principally in dogs because of economic importance, affective and scientific similarity to humans. However, the most of the methods used for conclusive diagnosis of splenic diseases are invasive methods, noninvasive lose in sensitivity and specificity difficulting proceed to a correct diagnosis. Thus, this study aimed to perform the ultrasound scan of dogs spleen using the elastographic (qualitative and quantitative) Doppler and contrast enhanced ultrasonography. Determining values not described in veterinary, which provide sufficient subsidies to get a conclusive diagnosis of the splenic condition in this species. The results in healthy dogs showed, all splenic segments visualized with the B-mode ultrasonography appeared normal. Different splenic segments examined with qualitative elastography were free of any detectable malformations and the images appeared as homogeneous dark areas. The mean shear velocity values were 2.32 m/s for head, 2.16 m/s for body and 2.25 m/s for tail of the spleen, and they did not vary between the different age groups (P>0.05). In dogs with ehrlichiosis in subclinical phase showed, by B-mode examination, observed splenomegaly with presence of rounded borders and heterogeneous echotexture and mixed echogenicity in spleen. For Doppler found values for vascular indices of the splenic artery: systolic velocity: 22.59 ± 8.07 cm/s; diastolic velocity: 5.25 ± 4.66 cm/s; and resistance index: 0.71 ± 0.14. For contrast enhanced ultrasonography observed values for wash-in: 5.31 ± 0.7s, peak enhancement: 18.56 ± 2.90s and wash-out: 94.56 ± 35.21s. The ARFI elastography is a new method and it may aid in the diagnosis and evaluation of splenic abnormalities routinely assessed in veterinary practice. The conventional ultrasonography of the spleen in dogs with ehrlichiosis associated with hemodynamic evaluation by Doppler and contrast enhanced ultrasonography are important tools for diagnosis trial and could help the monitoring clinical evolution in subclinical phase.
