Thoracic radiographs are some of the most common images taken in general practice, emergency and specialist hospitals. This webinar looks at why they are taken, including checking for metastasis and trauma such as pneumothorax, and why the patient must be straight, level and not rotated for the vet to assess symmetry. It compares good and poor radiographs and covers collimation, exposure factors and the views needed for a full thoracic series.
Presented by Philippa Wilkinson at the 2021 ACVN Student Conference.
Includes the full recording (34 minutes), the presentation slides as a PDF, and a quiz. Pass the quiz to receive a certificate worth 1 AVNAT point.
