In dogs, the characterization of intraluminal uterine contents has been subjectively carried out by the operators. The aims of this study were: 1) To ultrasonographically describe and compare the echogenicity and heterogeneity of the intraluminal uterine contents in bitches using digital analysis; 2) To assess the cytology of the uterine contents; 3) To evaluate the effect of clinical, ultrasonographic, bacteriological and cytological parameters on intraluminal contents echogenicity and heterogeneity. Twenty-one intact, 3-24 kg, 1-12 years of age, female dogs with ultrasonographically detected uterine content were included.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to analyze and compare the endometrial echogenicity and heterogeneity in healthy and diseased bitches using ultrasound and digital tools, focusing on conditions like pyometra, cystic endometrial hyperplasia (CEH), and endometritis.
  • It involved 41 intact post-pubertal bitches, categorized by their uterine conditions, and utilized ImageJ software to measure echogenicity and heterogeneity through mean gray value (MGV) and standard deviation of gray (SDG).
  • Results indicated that pyometra had significantly higher MGV and SDG than other conditions, while no significant differences were observed among CEH, endometritis, and
