Advances in medical technology have revolutionized diagnostic brain imaging. Traditional radiography and invasive contrast studies for intracranial imaging have been superseded by several newer imaging modalities which provide high resolution, cross-sectional images. Ultrasonography, computed tomography, magnetic resonance, and nuclear scintigraphy are now used for anatomical and functional imaging of the brain. These noninvasive modalities are available at most veterinary teaching institutions and are offered through many larger referral practices. The diagnostic usefulness and clinical limitations for each of these modalities are described.
医学技术的进步彻底改变了脑部诊断成像。用于颅内成像的传统放射照相术和侵入性造影研究已被几种更新的成像方式所取代，这些成像方式可提供高分辨率的横断面图像。超声检查、计算机断层扫描、磁共振成像和核闪烁扫描现在用于脑部的解剖学和功能成像。这些非侵入性检查方法在大多数兽医教学机构都有，并且许多大型转诊机构也提供。本文描述了每种检查方法的诊断用途和临床局限性。
