Thoracic computed tomography in dogs with neoplasia

Authors: , ,

Abstract

Computer tomography has been described for the detection and characterization of different thoracic neoplastic diseases in dogs, both primary and metastatic. Its use and availability in veterinary medicine are rapidly increasing in the clinical setting, particularly in referral practices. Due to the cross-sectional nature of this modality, CT is particularly useful in the assessment of complex anatomical regions, such as the thoracic cavity. In this review, the most common applications of thoracic CT for the diagnosis and staging of different neoplastic processes in dogs are highlighted.
