Computed Tomography (CT) is used for the evaluation of bronchial, lung and mediastinal abnormalities in humans. Thoracic radiography is commonly used in veterinary medicine for the diagnosis of thoracic diseases, but in most cases this modality is insufficient for definitive diagnosis and as a result treatments are inadequate. The superiority of CT with its ability to provide cross-sectional images has been reported in earlier studies. CT related studies started in veterinary medicine at the end of 1990s, but these studies are limited in our country.

Köpeklerde Akciğer Hastalıklarının Tanısında Bilgisayarlı Tomografi Kullanımı

Öz

İnsanlarda Bilgisayarlı Tomografi (BT) bronşial, akciğer ve mediastinal anormalliklerin değerlendirilmesinde kullanılmaktadır. Veteriner hekimlikte toraks hastalıklarının görüntülenmesinde sıklıkla kullanılan radyografi, çoğu olguda yetersiz kalmakta ve hastalara kesin tanı konulamayıp, sağaltımlar yetersiz kalmaktadır. Bilgisayarlı Tomografinin kesit görüntü sağlama özelliği ile radyografiye olan üstünlüğü daha önce yapılmış çalışmalarda bildirilmiştir. BT, dünya çapında 1990’lı yılların sonlarına doğru veteriner hekimlikte de kullanılmaya başlanmıştır; ancak ülkemizde BT ile ilgili yapılan çalışmalar kısıtlıdır.
