Abstract
Complete ultrasonographic visualization of superficial structures is facilitated by using a commercially available ultrasound standoff pad. Normally, scanning of superficial structures is difficult, even when using high‐frequency transducers. A major problem is the generation of intense echoes in the most superficial zone of the near field due to transducer reverberations. The ultrasound standoff pad decreases or prevents echo reverberations in the area of interest by placing it in the focal zone of the transducer. The standoff pad has been used to evaluate the flexor tendons of the equine metacarpus and metatarsus, canine testicle, canine lymph node, and other organs in cats and small dogs. Examples of this technique are presented.
