OBJECTIVE To quantify the effect of time and recumbency on CT measurements of lung
volume and attenuation in healthy cats under general anesthesia. ANIMALS 8 healthy …

Objective—To identify ventilatory protocols that yielded good image quality for thoracic CT
and hemodynamic stability in cats. Animals—7 healthy cats. Procedures—Cats were …

The objective of this study was to measure densities in various areas of the normal canine
lung with computed tomography (CT) depending on influences of gravity and the degree of …

General anesthesia optimizes image quality of thoracic CT in dogs by providing patient
immobilization and respiratory control. However, it also comes with disadvantages that may …

OBJECTIVE To characterize the extent and location of atelectasis in healthy anesthetized
dogs positioned in lateral recumbency and to determine whether repositioning dogs in …

OBJECTIVE To evaluate use of single manual alveolar recruitment maneuvers (ARMs) to
eliminate atelectasis during CT of anesthetized foals. ANIMALS 6 neonatal Standardbred …

This study was performed to quantitatively assess the normal lung volume and density
according to the position by multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT) in dogs. Helical …

OBJECTIVES To estimate the prevalence of subclinical abnormalities reported in thoracic
(CT) scans of cats and to investigate associations between respiratory signs and CT signs …

This randomized controlled trial study aimed to identify the optimal positive pressure (PP)
level that can clear atelectasis while avoiding pulmonary hyperinflation during the breath …

Background Computed tomography (CT) scanning of the lung is known to be a valuable tool
when investigating lung pathology of the dog. During CT-scan the dog needs to be …
