Abstract

In this study, ultrasonography controls of the secondary hydatid cyst of mice infected with sheep and donkey origin protoscoleces of the hydatid cyst. In the ultrasonographic examination, no problem was encountered with the diagnosis of both control and infected groups. Furthermore, ill the Doppler examinations of the infected and control groups, statistically significant associations were found between Resistive Index (RI) and Pulsative Index (PI) values (at p<0,001).
