In vivo ultrasound measurements of the adrenal glands of a group of cats were compared with the physical measurements of the extirpated glands. The in vivo ultrasound measurements of length and thickness compared well with the physical measurements, but the width measure ments did not. Difficulty in probe placement was responsible for the lack of correlation. Sonographic assessment of the feline adrenal is shown to be feasible, and the normal physical parameters of the feline adrenal are presented.
