- Abstract
Thoracic radiography is one of the most commonly employed tools in the diagnostic work-up of dogs and cats with cardiac diseases. It's also the standard diagnostic method for identifi cation of cardiogenic pulmonary edema. The radiographic evaluation of the cardiovascular structures provides useful information regarding specifi c cardiac chamber enlargement, generalized cardiomegaly, changes in pulmonary vasculature and lung opacity associated with pulmonary edema as well as other roentgen signs suggestive congestive heart failure including pleural effusion. Cardiac disease induces anatomical and/or functional changes of the heart that can be observed as generalized or localized modifi cations of the radiographic cardiac silhouette.
