Table 2. Comparison of organ measurements by scaled digital images versus ultrasound during necropsy of a dead female Proteus.
| Measurement | Scaled image or photograph | Ultrasonography |
|---|---|---|
| diameter/length [mm] | diameter/length [mm] | |
| Body | 10.3 / 215* | - / - |
| Coelomic cavity | 6.2 / 105* | - / - |
| Heart | 3.1 / 9.7 | 3.3/ 9.7 |
| Liver | 4.3 / 75 | 4.1 / - |
| Gall bladder | 3.4 / 5.2 | 3.0 / 5.4 |
| Lung | 2.7 / 81* | - / - |
| Kidney | 1.8 / 36.2 | 1.6 / - |
| Gut | 2.2 / 150* | 2.0 / - |
| Ovary | 1.2 / 22.3 | 1.2 / - |
*measurements of large structures were performed on scaled digital photographs;
- measurement was not feasible by using ultrasound
