eliminate atelectasis during CT of anesthetized foals. ANIMALS 6 neonatal Standardbred …

Objective—To qualitatively describe lung CT images obtained from sedated healthy equine
neonates (≤ 14 days of age), use quantitative analysis of CT images to characterize …

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 compare CT and radiographic images of the lungs in sedated healthy foals
positioned in sternal recumbency and to investigate whether a relationship exists between …

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

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 …

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 compare the effect of 2 concentrations of oxygen in inspired gas (fraction of
inspired oxygen [FIO 2] 1.0 or 0.4) on pulmonary aeration and gas exchange in dogs during …
