- Abstract
The protocol also uses the scapula and flexor muscles of the shoulder to locate the sonographically definable cranial lung border and extends the limb cranially to allow a larger lung surface area, including the axilla, to be assessed. Response to letter regarding "Comparison of lung ultrasound, chest radiographs, C-reactive protein, and clinical findings in dogs treated for aspiration pneumonia" Although we used sonographically defined lung borders to standardize the protocol between animals, we should point out that because of the "dome-shape" of the diaphragm, and the anatomic and physiologic interaction of the lung, diaphragm and costophrenic recesses, the cranial outline of the diaphragm on a lateral radiograph does not equate to the caudal margins of the lung.
