Resumo

Os insultos vasculares afetam diretamente a produção e a qualidade das células espermáticas, portanto, o diagnóstico rápido dessas alterações é de extrema importância para evitar danos irreversíveis à reprodução. Desse modo, a ultrassonografia Doppler têm se mostrado um método eficaz no diagnóstico precoce de afecções reprodutivas relacionadas com distúrbios na perfusão sanguínea testicular. Além disso, possibilita o acompanhamento de tratamentos em curso, a fim de melhorar resultados terapêuticos e proporcionar melhor previsão de fertilidade aos garanhões. Em homens, já é um método empregado para diagnosticar distúrbios de fertilidade, entretanto, na veterinária os relatos ainda são escassos e o uso por andrologistas de equinos para este fim, é esporádico. O objetivo dessa revisão é apresentar os princípios da ultrassonografia Doppler e os benefícios para a andrologia de equinos, afim de ampliar o conhecimento a respeito da técnica e facilitar o diagnóstico de afecções durante exames reprodutivos de garanhões.
