Methods of diagnosis of hip dysplasia in dogs

To diagnose hip dysplasia, you can use a test system, the essence of which is to create a subhabitation in the hip joint of the dog, laid on the side, while there is a click in the joint, which means that the test is positive, while the pressure on the knee joint of the hip joint does not happen. The most common method of diagnosing dysplasia worldwide is X-ray, in which the age of the dogs studied should be more than a year, and large and giant breeds are studied in the range of one to one and a half years, with the animal laid on the back so that the X-ray image shows the pelvis with the wings of the iliac bone and femurs, including the knee joints, therefore, it is also necessary to use sedation, which allows you to comply with all the requirements for styling. The resulting X-rays are assessed according to the main Xray characteristics of the hip joint, taking measurements on six parameters presented in the text of this article, and determining the type of dysplasia. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging can reveal the instability of the pathology in the hip joint and improve understanding of the disease process.

Dental Applications

Discovery of X-Rays is the beginning point of the medical imaging which developed and diversified in years. Since early days of X-Ray discovery they are used in also for imaging of teeth, in 1896, Dr. Otto Walkhoff imaged his mouth with X-Ray exposure. X-Rays helped the dentists to diagnose tooth decays and bone loss, examine dental structures and identify abnormalities of these structures. Today developments in technology resulted in different imaging techniques, X-Rays are used for Projectional Radiography and Computed Tomography, besides there are Nuclear Imaging, Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Ultrasound Imaging that widely used. In this review, imaging techniques for dental applications with the extension of artificial intelligence is examined to provide a brief information.

Symptoms And Signs

In cervical trauma, x-rays may require supplementation with dynamic x-rays, computed-tomography (CT), or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). A normal cervical x-ray does not always imply cervical stability. The mechanism of injury, symptoms and signs help to indicate whether further imaging is required. We report a patient with a fracture of the atlas that was not diagnosed by plain radiology, but seen on CT.

Background Diagnosing capitellar osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) can be difficult, causing delay in treating young athletes. The main aim of this retrospective diagnostic study was to determine which radiological technique is preferred to identify and classify elbow OCD. Methods We identified young patients who underwent elbow arthroscopy because of symptomatic OCD. We included all patients who had pre-operative radiographs, a computed tomography (CT) scan and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) available. We assessed whether the osteochondral lesion could be identified using the various imaging modalities. All lesions were classified according to previous classifications for X-ray, CT and MRI, respectively. These results were compared with findings at arthroscopy. Results Twenty-five patients had pre-operative radiographs as well as CT scans and MRI. In six patients, the lesion was not visible on standard X-ray. In 20 patients, one or two loose bodies were found during surgery, consistent with an unstable lesion. Pre-operatively, this was seen on 11 X-rays, 13 MRIs and 18 CT scans. Conclusions Capitellar OCD lesions are not always visible on standard X-rays. A CT appears to be the preferred imaging technique to confirm diagnosis of OCD. Loose bodies are often missed, especially on standard X-rays and MRIs.
