Dear Colleagues, With the close of the NIH fully funded prostatic carcinoma study this month, I want to thank everyone for making it such a huge success. Both animals and humans stand to benefit from this collaborative project, as many canine and human diseases show similar characteristics. Prostate carcinoma is one such […]

We recently conducted a second canine prostate study using targeted ultrasound contrast on a poodle, yielding similar results to the previous study of the German Shepherd. Pre-contrast, the liver and gallbladder appeared normal. The spleen contained a 3.0 cm x 1.9 cm hypoechoic nodule dorsally. Both kidneys had a thickened and hyperechoic cortex with decreased […]

Last week’s ground breaking prostate study using targeted ultrasound contrast yielded some exciting results. The post-contrast images were incredible and revealed after five minutes that the abnormal appearing prostatic core was contrast-enhancing, while the peripheral prostatic tissue, particularly on the right, did not demonstrate enhancement. These initial results demonstrate potential promise in targeted ultrasound contrast’s […]
