Title: Image-guided interventional procedures in the dog and cat. Author: Vignoli M, Saunders JH. Journal: Vet J; 2011 Mar; 187(3):297-303. PubMed ID: 20074984. 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.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
