Tube lengths of BENT ¾, BENT, STRAIGHT and NEMU (in cm) with respect to weight (in g) in cats. Blue area: area between CARDIA US and Max US1. Orange area: area between Max US1 and Max US2. Red area: area between Max US2 and Max VISUAL. Values of BENT ¾ and STRAIGHT, found below the blue area (area defined by Cardia US and Max US1), are in the esophagus. Values found in the blue, orange, red areas or above are found in the stomach or further (looped, perforated or in the duodenum). BENT was never found below the blue area, therefore never in the oesophagus
