Comparison for Radiographic Measurements of Canine Liver Size by Left and Right Recumbency

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Liver size is one of the important standards used to establish differential diagnoses for dogs with suspectedhepatic diseases. No previous reports have been reported about comparison for radiographic measurements of canineliver size by left and right recumbency. The retrospective study was performed in dogs that underwent abdominalradiography with left, right and dorsal recumbency at the Veterinary Teaching Hospital of Gyeongsang NationalUniversity from March 6, 2014 to December 31, 2014. We investigated differences of radiographic liver size accordingto direction of lateral recumbency. We found differences of radiographic measurements in canine liver size betweenleft and right recumbency. Thus, positional effect should be considered in case of monitoring the canine liver sizeregularly.
