For the assessment of the clinical application of histogram on internal parenchymal organs, ultrasonography with a multi-frequency transducer was taken. We scanned in the region of right cranial abdomen for both liver and right kidney, and left cranial abdomen for liver, spleen and left kidney in 9 normal Beagle dogs. The data from histogram examined in a region of interest centered on each picture element of B-mode images at the same depth were compared among liver, renal cortex, spleen, cortex and medulla of each kidney. The right renal cortex showed significantly lower echogenicity than parenchyma of liver by $15{\%}$. Spleen was more echogenic than the cortex of the left kidney by $23{\%}$, and liver was more echogenic than the left renal cortex by $30{\%}$. Renal cortex was more echogenic than medulla by $47{\%}$ and $65{\%}$ on the right and left side, respectively (p<0.05). The mean (${\pm}SD$) values calculated echogenicity were $46.2{\pm}12.3\;(95\%$ confidential interval (CI), 41.0 to 55.0) and $53.4{\pm}12.1\;(95\%$ CI, 47.0 to 55.1) in in the right renal cortex and liver parenchyma, $65.0{\pm}11.8\;(95\%$ CI, 57.9 to 71.0) and $51.0{\pm}16.9\;(95\%$ CI, 42.8 to 54.1) in splenic parenchyma and renal cortex. And the mean values calculated echogenicity were $65.0{\pm}10.15\;(95\%$ CI, 60.1 to 71.5) and $52.0{\pm}9.4\;(95\$ CI, 43.8 to 60.3) in liver parenchyma and the left renal cortex, $54.5{\pm}18.3\;(95\%$ CI, 40.1 to 62.8) and $35.0{\pm}16.2\;(95\%$ CI, 24.2 to 43.6) in the left renal cortex and medulla. And the mean values calculated echogenicity were $55.0{\pm}14.4\;(95\%$ CI, 47.3 to 61.7) and $40.0{\pm}13.2\;(95\%$ CI, 34.3 to 46.7) in the right renal cortex and medulla, respectively. In addition, the echogenicity ratios were $0.86{\pm}0.11$ between the right renal cortex and liver parenchyma, $1.37{\pm}0.47$ between spleenic parenchyma and the left renal cortex, $1.30{\pm}0.19$ between liver parenchyma and the left renal cortex. All the values measured showed significant different (p<0.05). Ultrasound histogram is simple, useful and feasible to evaluate the sonographic architecture of the internal organs such as liver, spleen and kidney, quantitatively.

제안 방법
Hepatic, splenic and renal ultrasonography (US) was performed using a Medison 9900 ultrasonographic machine (Medison, Korea) with a multi-frequency probe (3-7 MHz), all the experimental dogs were clipped adjacent to the liver and kidneys and followed application of acoustic coupling gel in each dog fasted for 12 hrs before examination. Only dogs with ultrasonographically normal liver, spleen and kidneys were in this study.
The purpose of this study was to quantitatively determine the echogenicity of the liver, spleen, and kidney in clinically normal Beagle dogs, using histogram analysis. Values from this study may serve as a basis for determining diffuse abnormalities from normal appearance with these organs.
The sonographic recording was made with a standardized device setting that fixed the image focus between close and medium ranges of depth, with optimized brightness and contrast (fixed gain and TGC-curve). This standardized setting was kept constant during the scanning.
대상 데이터
Nine clinically normal adult Beagle dogs were examined. Each dog weighed between 7-9.

0, SAS Institute, Cary, NC) was used for statistical analysis. Mann-Whitney test for the significance and correlation was performed to detect difference between ROI measurements for liver, spleenand kidney. P values < 0.
성능/효과
In conclusion, though extensive investigation may be required to authenticate the normal numeric sonographic histogram among various breed and age in clinically normal dogs, quantitative measurement using ultrasound histogram is very simple, useful and practicable to evaluate the sonographic architecture appearance on the internal organs such as liver, kidney, and spleen.
