IndicationsIndications
• Vomiting/Diarrhea• Abdominal Pain• Hematuria• Abdominal Mass/Distension• Tenesmus (Pain on Defecation)
![Page 3: Introduction to Abdominal Radiology Meghan Woodland, DVM.](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022102604/56649ca25503460f94960faf/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Technical FactorsTechnical Factors
• Abdomen has low inherent contrast– Lower kVp– Higher mAs
• Collimation– High amount of scatter– Use grid (if patient is >10-11cm thick)
• Take exposure on expiration

PositioningPositioning
• VD and R lateral views• Include from diaphragm to pelvic inlet• Fore limbs pulled cranially• Hind limbs pulled caudally• Additional views as necessary

Interpretation of Abdominal Interpretation of Abdominal RadiographsRadiographs
• Liver• Spleen• Kidneys• GIT (Stomach, SI, Cecum, LI)• Bladder• Prostate• Extra-abdominal structures

Structures Not Normally SeenStructures Not Normally Seen
• Gall bladder• Pancreas• Adrenals• Ovaries• Uterus• Ureters• Lymph Nodes• Mesentery• Vasculature

LiverLiver
• Lateral view: – Caudo-ventral margin angular– Should not extend beyond the costal arch– Normal gastric axis parallel to ribs or perpendicular
to spine
• VD view:– Liver margins not well seen– Long axis of stomach perpendicular to spine

SpleenSpleen
• Size is subjective• Lateral view:
– Tail of spleen visible, but position varies– Not usually seen on this view in cats
• VD view:– Head of the spleen is visualized
• Caudo-lateral to stomach fundus• Cranio-lateral to left kidney
– Cats : often seen lying along the left body wall
