MAMMOGRAPHY BONE RADIOGRAPHS IN SMALL ANIMALS
Abstract
The use of a mammography film-screen combination to take bone radiographs in five cats and five dogs using a standard X-ray equipment was assessed in comparison to the fine orthocromatic rare-earth system. The radiographic quality and exposure factors were evaluated. This study suggests that the mammography filmscreen combination using a standard radiographic equipment, is a superior alternative to the fine orthocromatic film-screen to take bone radiographs of thin body parts of small animals (3-25 Kg.). Moreover, the exposure factors required to take radiographs with this technique were similar to the standard system.Downloads
