Diagnostic imaging plays an essential role in the diagnosis and management of reproductive neoplasia in dogs and cats. The initial diagnosis, staging, and planning of surgical and radiation treatment and the response to therapy all involve imaging to varying degrees. Routine radiographs, ultrasound, nuclear medicine, and cross-sectional imaging in the form of computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are routinely used in canine reproductive disorders. The choice of imaging modality depends on many factors, including the level of referral and the pathological information required. The biological behaviour of the tumour also guides the choice of imaging in cancer staging, and imaging may play an important role in guiding serial tumour biopsy during the course of therapy. The sophistication of imaging modalities is increasing exponentially. Each modality has advantages and disadvantages in terms of cost, availability, sensitivity, specificity, and qualities of anatomic versus functional imaging.
诊断成像在犬猫生殖系统肿瘤的诊断和管理中起着至关重要的作用。初始诊断、分期、手术和放射治疗的规划以及对治疗的反应都不同程度地涉及成像。常规X线摄影、超声、核医学以及计算机断层扫描（CT）和磁共振成像（MRI）形式的横断面成像常用于犬类生殖系统疾病。成像方式的选择取决于许多因素，包括转诊级别和所需的病理信息。肿瘤的生物学行为也指导癌症分期中成像方式的选择，并且成像在治疗过程中指导系列肿瘤活检方面可能发挥重要作用。成像方式的复杂性正在呈指数级增长。每种成像方式在成本、可用性、敏感性、特异性以及解剖成像与功能成像的质量方面都有优缺点。
