Abstract
Transabdominal ultrasonography is used increasingly for the evaluation of gastrointestinal disorders in small animals, including neoplasms s uch as lymphosarcoma, carcinoma, and smooth muscle tumors (leiomyoma, leiomyosarcoma). An updated summary of the clinical studies currently investigating the use of ultrasonography to detect and to characterize gastrointestinal neoplasia is presented in this article.
