Thoracic radiographs

x-ray

The cardiovascular structures are normal in size and shape. No abnormalities are seen within the pulmonary parenchyma. The mediastinum and pleural space are normal. There is spondylosis deformans in the thoracic spine.

Case Discussion

No metastatic disease was found in this case. The larger size of this dog causes some increased pulmonary opacity. The positioning trough has caused a change in opacity on the dorsoventral projection at the left 11th rib.
