The aim of this study was to compare post-mortem CT findings with necropsy findings in domestic cats.
Post-mortem CT and necropsies were performed in 20 cadavers of domestic cats. The sensitivity, specificity and agreement between the post-mortem CT and necropsy findings were determined.
There were a total of 315 post-mortem findings; 183 were identified by post-mortem CT and 132 were identified by necropsy. Post-mortem CT demonstrated a higher sensitivity to identify the findings mainly in bones. The higher indices of agreement between post-mortem CT and necropsy were related to abnormalities of pleural space, bones and joints.
This study demonstrated that post-mortem CT and necropsy provided different information. Thus, their use in conjunction with each other might improve the understanding of the cause of death and the identification of post-mortem lesions.
本研究旨在比较家猫死后 CT 检查结果与尸检结果。
对 20 具家猫尸体进行死后 CT 检查和尸检。确定死后 CT 与尸检结果之间的敏感性、特异性和一致性。
共发现 315 种死后表现;183 种通过死后 CT 检查发现,132 种通过尸检发现。死后 CT 检查对主要在骨骼中发现的表现具有更高的敏感性。死后 CT 与尸检之间具有更高一致性的指数与胸膜腔、骨骼和关节的异常有关。
本研究表明,死后 CT 检查和尸检提供了不同的信息。因此,将它们结合使用可能会提高对死亡原因的理解和对死后病变的识别。
