Imaging

There was no significant correlation between the clinical scores and histopathologic changes in 19 dogs
Recognition of specific radiographic markers was only fairly reliable within and between experienced observers, in a study on 50 hip extended radiographs
Significant differences were found in standing and recumbent limb alignment values for all values except elbow mechanical axis deviation
The range of movement of the coxofemoral joint has the potential to be an objective marker of OA-associated disability in cats
Odds of a correct diagnosis for MRI were 3.2 times more than ultrasonography and two times more than radiography in a study on 18 dogs (n = 36 shoulders).
The anatomy of the canine tarsus can be readily identified on MR imaging
A protocol derived from computed tomography multiplanar reconstructions of canine hindlimbs was repeatable and reproducible for assessing the femoral and tibial alignment of dogs.
