Microfocal radiography as an aid to the diagnosis of canine elbow osteochondrosis

摘要: One normal cadaver specimen and six labrador retrievers with suspected elbow osteochondrosis were examined using a microfocal radiographic technique as an aid to diagnosis. This allowed the production of magnified image (macro-radiograph) high spatial resolution. The macroradiographs compared radiographs obtained standard see if they facilitated decision making respect case management. lesions that from examination correlated gross found at arthrotomy. Microfocal radiography gave additional information about changes within joints but it still remained difficult lesion satisfactorily in some cases.
