the cardiac structures was difficult in cows with narrow intercostal spaces. This limitation has also been reported in horses (Voros and others 1991). These findings in the cow were similar to those in horses by Carlsten ( 1987), who reported that the right side of the heart could be visualised better from the right side than the left side, but that the left side of the heart could be imaged equally well from either side. The only exception was that in the cranial long axis the pulmonary valve was best imaged from the left side. This result agrees with the findings ofYamaga and Too (1984), who also described the imaging of the cardiac valves. Although they described the transducer position and something of the orientation required for optimal imaging, they omitted a description of the angle of rotation of the transducer and the direction in which it should be turned. They also reported that the fourth intercostal space was suitable for imaging the pulmonary valve, whereas in this study it could be imaged only from the third intercostal space.
