Radiography, computed tomography and virtual bronchoscopy in four dogs and two cats with lung lobe torsion

摘要: This report describes the imaging features of radiography, computed tomography and virtual bronchoscopy in dogs cats with lung lobe torsions. The medical records, thoracic radiographs images four two confirmed torsions were retrospectively reviewed. Computed showed bronchial narrowing, collapse or occlusion all six animals, while this was only appreciated on one radiographic examination. A tapering terminating angle air-filled bronchus proximal distal to collapsed region seen animals. vesicular emphysema pattern typical torsion three tomographies but torsion-specific findings a proximally narrowed occluded more easily recognised than radiographs. slices acquired through interest cat dog possible can be reformatted into bronchoscopic that utilised along help make definitive preoperative diagnosis.
