• Abstract

  Many measurements methods have been proposed for radiographic assessing of the cardiac silhouette in order to minimize the subjectivity of the empirical evaluation. The goal of this study is to apply, in a semi-automatic way, the Vertebral Heart Size (VHS) measurement method, proposed by Buchanan e Bücheler (1995), and to compare the results of this approach with the ones of the calculati…

• Abstract

  There is a growing popularity about owning birds as pets and because of that, the veterinary doctors are more and more expected to provide diagnosis and therapy for the diseases that strike these animals. That said, complementary exams are of extreme importance for concluding a diagnosis, for example the radiographic exam and the digital tomography. The radiographic exam is already broadl…

  Comparative study of radiographs and computed tomography to evaluate the respiratory system in psittacines bird using containment box, BP.IC

• Abstract

  It's presented a proposal for a study of the reproducibility potential of semi-automatic system of radiographic measurement. To do so will be measured, by means of a computer software, the Vertebral Heart Size (VHS), the angle between the sternum and the major axis of the heart (angle) and normalized cardiac area (NCA) in radiographic images of clinically normal dogs with mitral insuffici…

  Reproducibility of semi-automatic system of radiographic measurement of the cardiac silhouette of the dog, BP.IC

• Abstract

  A narrow range of normal variations in cardiac size and shape on radiographs is strongly influenced by technical factors, positioning and thoracic breed conformation. Although these alterations in cardiac silhouette can challenge the subjective analysis of cardiac silhouette, thoracic radiography is until consiterated a significant tool for complete evaluation of heart and cardiopulmonary…

• Abstract

  Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the gold standard in the evaluation of the nervous system in humans and is increasingly utilized in veterinary medicine. Continued technological improvements have resulted in the addition of multiple new and advanced imaging sequences (e.g. gradient echo sequences, inversion recovery sequences, diffusion and perfusion weighted imaging, magnetic resonanc…
