Diagnostic imaging is routinely performed in small animals with lower urinary tract disease. Survey radiographs allow identification of radiopaque calculi, gas within the urinary tract, and lymph node or bone metastases. Cystography and urethrography remain useful in the evaluation of bladder or urethral rupture, abnormal communication with other organs, and lesions of the pelvic or penile urethra. Ultrasonography is the modality of choice for the diagnosis of most disorders. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging are useful in evaluating the ureterovesical junction and intrapelvic lesions, monitoring the size of lesions, and evaluating lymph nodes and osseous structures for metastases.
诊断性影像学检查常用于患有下尿路疾病的小动物。X线平片可用于识别不透X线的结石、泌尿道内的气体以及淋巴结或骨转移。膀胱造影和尿道造影在评估膀胱或尿道破裂、与其他器官的异常连通以及盆腔或阴茎尿道病变方面仍然有用。超声检查是诊断大多数疾病的首选方式。计算机断层扫描和磁共振成像有助于评估输尿管膀胱连接部和盆腔内病变、监测病变大小以及评估淋巴结和骨质结构有无转移。
