Assessment of the thorax is equivalent when presented with whole body versus collimated thoracic radiographs in dogs and cats
The study supports whole-body radiographs as a practical alternative to collimated thoracic radiographs for evaluating thoracic abnormal findings in small animals. WBR offers a simpler imaging approach without compromising diagnostic accuracy, providing a flexible and reliable option in clinical practice.
