Image-guided interventional procedures in the dog and cat
The Veterinary Journal, In Press, Corrected Proof, Available online 13 January 2010
Massimo Vignoli, Jimmy H. Saunders
Abstract
Medical imaging is essential for the diagnostic workup of many soft tissue and bone lesions in dogs and cats, but imaging modalities do not always allow the clinician to differentiate inflammatory or infectious conditions from neoplastic disorders. This review describes interventional procedures in dogs and cats for collection of samples for cytological or histopathological examinations under imaging guidance. It describes the indications and procedures for imaging-guided sampling, including ultrasound (US), computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging and fluoroscopy. US and CT are currently the modalities of choice in interventional imaging.
ENJOY!
