Item Identification of normal parameters for ultrasonographic examination of the equine large colon and cecum(Canadian Veterinary Journal, 2007) Hendickson, EH; Malone, ED; Sage, AMSix healthy horses were examined by using transabdominal ultrasonography, as described (1-3), to evaluate activity and size of the large colon and cecum at various locations. Using size and number of sacculations, activity patterns and contractile frequency; significant differences that would allow ultrasonographic identification of dorsal versus ventral colons, if they were displaced, were not found. The cecum had significantly greater activity than the colon, and a trend was seen towards smaller sacculations in the cecum than in the large colon
