Reading thoracic radiographs of the dog and cat

Radiographic positioning is essential for correct identification and diagnoses of lesions on radiographs. It is essential to understand how to acquire correctly positioned orthogonal radiographs and how positioning results in the projected image. The webinar will focus on how to position dogs and cats for the optimal radiograph of the thorax, abdomen and selected musculoskeletal anatomy. The webinar will expand on how to position these patients to minimise x-ray exposure to both the staff and patient, what to look for in a correctly positioned radiograph, tips on how to problem solve incorrectly positioned radiographs, and will introduce less new projections that may offer further diagnostic value to radiographs.

Humeral condylar fractures are unique and challenging fractures. This lecture by Ian Faux will provide an overview with an emphasis on evidence based decision making and practical tips.

A discussion that shows the vital radiographic signs to look out for when deciding if a foreign body is present and whether to cut or not to cut. This will include real world case studies to help reinforce the teaching points.
