Survey radiography, double contrast cystography, and antegrade urethrocystography are valuable imaging tools available to the clinician for evaluation of cats with lower urinary tract disease. However, to be cost effective during patient evaluation, diagnostic radiographic procedures should be used only when needed. An algorithm is presented that describes when radiographic imaging techniques may be most cost effective in providing useful information during the clinical workup of cats with lower urinary tract disease.
造影X线照相术、双重对比膀胱造影术和顺行尿道膀胱造影术是临床医生可用于评估患有下泌尿道疾病猫的有价值的成像工具。然而，为了在患者评估期间具有成本效益，诊断性放射学检查程序应仅在必要时使用。本文提出了一种算法，该算法描述了在患有下泌尿道疾病猫的临床检查过程中，放射成像技术在提供有用信息时何时可能最具成本效益。
