For the most part,theoretically, I do agree with you. However, from a purely clinical (and anecdotal) perspective - it is super common for a newly-diagnosed Cushings dog who has numbers off the charts to have
totally normal looking adrenals via u/s. That's been more my experience than not, the last 10 years. Kinda interesting, really, bc clinicians (of course) always strongly recommend the u/s in newly diagnosed dogs - when in fact it's most common that nothing comes of it. That said, I do understand why they want to do it.
