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 …

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 …

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 study documents the degree of positional atelectasis in sedated dogs receiving 100%
oxygen (O 2) versus room air. Initial lateral recumbency was determined by an orthopedic …

The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of abdominal surgery on atelectasis
formation in healthy dogs. After the induction of general anesthesia (GA), 20 dogs …

Objective To describe sudden onset of generalized pulmonary atelectasis following thoracic
lavage in 3 dogs. Series Summary Thoracic lavage was performed following ligation of a …

OBJECTIVE To evaluate effects of position, time in that position, and positive end-expiratory
pressure on ground-glass opacity caused by physiologic atelectasis on lung CT images and …

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 …

Background Literature investigating the normal cross-sectional anatomy of rabbits with
computed tomography (CT) is sparse and incomplete. The purpose of the present study was …
