FELINE HIP XRAY NORMAL SKIN

There were no significant mean difference associations between the length of the femur and the femoral neck angle in either group ( P > 0.05). The CT measurements showed that the mean ± standard deviation (SD) FAA of group I was 31.34 ± 5.47° and in group II it was 31.02 ± 4.95°. The data were processed as multi-planar and three-dimensional reconstructions using Advantage Workstation software. In the study the femoral anteversion angle (FAA) was measured on each femur using multi-slice spiral computed tomography (CT). Based on the length of their femora 58 dogs were allocated either to group I: ≤195 mm or group II: >195 mm. The aim of the current study was to obtain precise normal values of the femoral anteversion angle using computed tomography on cadavers of mature dogs with normal hip joints of both medium and large breeds. To promote the development of an optimally functional total hip prosthesis for medium and large dog breeds, accurate measurements of the normal anatomy of the proximal femur and acetabular retroversion are essential. 4Department of Veterinary Science, Centre for the Research and Technology of Agro-Environmental and Biological Sciences (CITAB), University of Trás-os-Montes and Alto Douro, Vila Real, Portugal.3Department of Veterinary Medicine, Small Animal Clinic, Freie University Berlin, Berlin, Germany.2College of Veterinary Medicine, School of Veterinary and Life Sciences, Murdoch University, Perth, WA, Australia.1Department of Veterinary Medicine, College of Food and Agriculture, United Arab Emirates University, Al Ain, United Arab Emirates.To learn more about x-rays you can visit our radiology section in the hospital tour page.Ahmad Al Aiyan 1 * Ken Richardson 2 George Manchi 3 Mário Ginja 4 Leo Brunnberg 3 Its a rubber band in the cats small intestine that is literally coming out of its fanny.Ĭan you see all of the kittens in this radiograph? Normal organs visualized are:Ĭan you tell what the arrows are pointing to in the abdomen of this cat? It is the round white area just above the white arrow. This cat has a tumor at the bottom of its stomach. They are enlarged in this cat because of cancer, although there can be other causes of enlarged kidneys. The two large, oval white objects on each side of the spine are enlarged kidneys. Pellets and BB’s are often incidental findings and are not usually removed unless they are causing a problem.

The black circle outlines a pellet in the skull. The growth plates allow the bones to grow longer, and will disappear when this kitten matures.

The arrows point to growth plates, not fractures. The manner in which the barium flows along with the rate at which it flows are important diagnostic aids. This is barium flowing through the stomach and intestines 15 minutes after it was given.
