This article illustrates the roles of ultrasonography, scintigraphy, and computed tomography (CT) as alternative techniques for pulmonary imaging in small animals. The advantages and limitations of each modality, normal anatomic features, and technical considerations will be discussed. Selected applications will be examined and include pulmonary consolidation, neoplasia and other masses, atelectasis, pneumothorax, dystrophic mineralization, diffuse infiltrative disease, and pulmonary embolism. The use of ultrasound and CT-guided interventional procedures will also be briefly discussed.
本文阐述了超声检查、闪烁扫描法及计算机断层扫描（CT）作为小动物肺部成像替代技术的作用。将讨论每种检查方式的优缺点、正常解剖特征及技术要点。还将探讨特定的应用，包括肺实变、肿瘤及其他肿块、肺不张、气胸、营养不良性矿化、弥漫性浸润性疾病及肺栓塞。此外，还将简要讨论超声及CT引导下的介入操作。
